A member asked:

Is it normal not to have bowel movement every day after the gastric bypass. i got it 4 years ago and i stay constipated and i drink plenty of water.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Constipation is also seen in patients following bariatric surgery. This occurs more commonly after LAGB and RNYGBP and is less likely with DS, although it may occur in rare cases with DS. It is usually due to insufficient intake of water, and may be corrected by diligent attention to water ingestion and the addition of fiber products like Metamucil or Fibercon.
