Bowel issue question
Hi. Long story but I will try to keep it short…
Open R-NY - 05/07/2001
lost 110lbs
Baby — gained 48lbs
C-section 8/03
Groin Hernia following c-section
Lost 35lbs
Groin Hernia fixed lap 10/04
Following the Hernia surgery I have been unable to produce a BM on my
own. I have to take daily stool softners and stimulant lax. Thought
it was because of the surgery bumping my bowels around and it would
settle down….
12/04 — New Groin Hernia (tear under the bottom of the mesh of the
10/04 repair)
Prior to the groin hernia surgery my bowels were “normal”. I had my
ups and downs… I still dumped if I ate something too sweet, etc.
The doctors have done the barium test and a CAT scan and say they
don’t see anything wrong….
Question for the group is: Has anyone else experienced anything like
this??
Thanks for your time….

With me, it was after the RnY. I can’t go on my own either. So, now I take two
things: Zelnorm, 6mgs twice a day, and 5 or 6 tabs of magnesium citrate at
night, around 4pm. I go like clockwork. It’s a loose stool, but at least I go
daily now.
