# not quite
very very bad ibs, coupled with losing about 6ft of intestines, makes pooping difficult at times. my bog roll has been unmolested since sunday, but booze tends to loosen even the most grabby chutney-pipe. hopefully, a bottle of wine and a few senokot will do what stomach medicine has failed to do, thus negating the need for about 8 hours in casualty and a fuckoff big injection :(

# Medical interjection...
/start boring factoids:
Unlikely to be IBS; more likely to be adhesions causing partial obstruction secondary to the surgery. Since part of the roux-en-y involves moving a bit of the small bowel over the transverse colon, you can also get a sort of internal hernia that can cause similar symptoms.
I wouldn't recommend the booze as a solution unless you have a load of Lansoprazole or similar, but you do need to speak to your surgeon...

/end of boring factoids

# i had bad ibs before the surgery
and i had a massive hernia, which almost killed me last year. lansoprazole doesn't seen to help, but kolanticon gel is what i've been using for the last 4 years. it's been an absolute godsend.

# tried movicol?
could also try going the other way and having a lot of fats eg butter laden on stuff to try and get a bit of steattorhea... stinks but might get things moving since you shouldn't absorb so much of it?
