Laxalose is good as it is liquid form. I had to take this. Got it on prescription.

I was going to ask about Movicol and if anyone had used it.

Are you uncomfortable or in pain?

If not don't worry, I was told that this will happen and you will go when there is something there.

If however you are really uncomfortable or in pain then speak to you GP. I can't take tablets bigger normal capsuls as they get stuck.

Nope not in pain just know I need to go and cant keep running to the loo thinking im going to go and then......... nothing!! Been like this since Tuesday if I leave it any longer it'll be painful when I do go :sigh:

When I was at Leeds festival for 5 days i didnt poop once
So when I got home I took 2 or 3 dulcolax and boy did they get things moving.
The tablets are so small that they wont cause a problem sticking or getting stuck in the pouch.
All I can say is dont overdo them as you'll never be off the loo

Thanks bex, I took them years ago and remember how good they were and that they were tiny thats why I wondered would they be ok to take with my band

 

[leedsjeff]

Hi Kate
I'm not sure for banders like yourself but ducolax are tiny, i took them but apparently some surgeons say you shouldn't take them in 1st six weeks ( bypass) so i'll miss them out for the next two weeks but boy do they work lolx

you'll be ok with the dulcolax but they are pretty strong and will give you gripping pain in your stomach.

I have linseeds every day in yoghurt, or they can be sprinkled on cereal or salads and they keep you going every day...very natural and no belly ache with them.

give them a go

Movicol is good and easy to get down. Ducolax will definitely work and ARE small enough to go through the band. Happy pooping, Gaynorx
