| Newbie |  Backed up 7 days post-op, what should I do?... i'm not dehydrated because my water intake is excellent during they day, and i'm not inactive, so i know it's not lack of exercise holding me back...anything else i need to look at changing to help prevent this from happening again? also, what can i do to "get going?" i haven't pooped in 2 entire days and i'm feeling the effects  pre-op, this would not phase me, but now it's entirely different, yk? tia. ~kas |

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | Awwww  Since you are still early out, the first thing you should do is call your surgeon and ask. You probably need a laxative at this stage, but your insides are still healing, so best you ask your dr. Hope you

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     | KAT i agree with DOC to talk to your surgeon being your only 7 days post op. See what he suggests. I have heard post op people useing SMOOTH MOVE TEA which you can get in GNC...you drink a cup at night and by morning all is fine. BUT because your new out your surgeon should be informed. UNFORTUNATELY i didnt experience this!!! GOOD LUCK and keep asking away its a scary time when your first home and all things are new inside.

Height: | Hey Kas....my surgeon was good enough to send me home with stool softener too which is good since I have gotten so sick of meat that I have increased my cheese intake and that has made things slow moving. I can't help but think of one of my fave comedian's Ron White when he talks about if you have ever had a bm that was so big that you lost weight...lol. I actually try to make sure that I don't eat cheese the days before weigh in days...lol. Hope that things get moving for you soon. Janae |
