Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

hugs
many experience this post op from this way of eating.
UNFORTUNETLY i dont.
I know some take milk of magnesia (MOM)...
and i know my surgeon first suggests
useing a product called SMOOTH MOVE (its a tea)
that if you have a cup before bed
you wake up in the am nad go naturally with minimal
cramping.

HUGS hope this resolves!
increasing ur water is also great

I have been dealing with this since my surgery also. The pain associated with this is unreal at times.

I would be carful with doing 2 enamas though If the first one dose not move it it means there is a blockage and thats why its so painful. If you are taking the Iron a side effect of the iron is stick tar like stools.

IN my case it got so bad at one time thank god my sister is a nurse and she took care of it so i did not have to go to the hospital. Had she not been around i would have had to go.

Now each day i start my day with 2 stool sofners and i end the day with 2 and this keeps me regular with not much of a problem and i know if i go more then a day with out going that i have to up my dose and everything moves well.

t
ake care hope this may help a bit

Ms. Vickie suggested Miralax and I am much better now thanks to her suggestion. It use to be perscriptin but now its over the counter. Its a powder and you dissolve it anything liquid. Hot or cold. No taste and I think it works wodnerfully. I have issues now and then.. I will do really good for a few weeks then get some bad bouts of constipation. Good luck.

Im gonna have to say it again. Its a miracle drug with no side effects. Any one that battles with constipation needs to atleast try it. The fact it dont taste like anything is a GOD send.
