Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Try some milk of magnesia for the constipation. The gas is not something that is really able to be helped. It's pretty normal following this surgery. You could try GasX or Beano...it might help but it's doubtful. T.

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2004 Report Share Posted February 7, 2004 Keep pushing the liquids and walk, walk, walk... It helps. Remember there's not much going into your body. My doctor told me I won't go every day. I'm a week out now and went about 2 days without going. For later on I was told no Milk of Mag. or similar products. Instead to take colace or senokot. These are stool softeners vs. laxative (Milk of Mag). Kathy Lap Rny 1/30/04 327/316/? > 4 day post op having problem with gas and constipation > please help.
