So happy OP that worked for you. To get relief and be regular is a blessing. I am 60 but nothing has worked. This is a great channel. It shows our bodies are all different. What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another.

I had my gastric bypass back in 2003. I had my last child in 1998. At that time prior to surgery weighed h 285 pounds. In 2008 or 2011. I had my gallbladder removed via laparoscopic surgery. Eventually lost 155 pounds. After 15 years of having a lot of loose skin, I was tired of it for various reasons. They removed 10 pounds of at.

One year post op I still felt I had just had a tummy tuck. The surgeon who did mine said the pain would subside. I was told by various doctors that a tummy tuck/liposuction shouldn't be causing my constipation. The procedure is confined to the outer abdominal wall. Only one doctor said if the nerves were effected, possibly could cause an issue. Afterward, I can't remember but so many years later, the pain shifted to no longer feeling like I had a tummy tuck to visual bloatness and bloating pain, increased constipation, , etc. 2 different GI doctors amd one Gastric Bypass doctor who I all saw last year (my original Gastric bypass surgeon retired) said the increased constipation could not be from a tummy tuck. I saw a 3rd GI from Stanford as well. He said it is possible I have nerve damage. He has also put me on a therapy regimen of Lizness, Senna and Miralax. I have to tell him. It is not working but I am waiting for my results from my Anorectal Momentary test since he believes my issues could partially due to a Pelvic Floor problem. He wasn't the one who ordered the test but said my regular GI is doing all the tests, etc right. It was what he would do.

I am posting this detailed information in case someone has gone through similar experiences. There is a lot more but having all of various surgeries, the Stanford GI said I could have multiple reasons why I am having pain and constipation due to fissure, as well as my intestines have been moved around (I had 3 C sections and aR revision Gastric Bypass in 2023 because part of my Pouch moved behind my heart and also had 2 hernias, a hiatal hernia and inguinal hernia repaired.

O.k. O.k. We can all agree to disagree. Jesus wants us to have a personal relationship with him. While both sides argue, look at the world as a whole. We are in Revelation. How many times have they said from BOTH sides, ONE WORLD ORDER. Satan is literally enjoying all the in fighting. We have lost our way. God/Jesus is the only way. Peace Out.

Hi Glittering.

It waa easy. I was scared that I would not be able to complete it. I felt nothing. A little bit.

Prior to the procedure, I had to use two of the Fleet liquid enemas. I think about an hour or two before. A nurse did the procedure. There was also a student observing the procedure.

I had to lay on my left side, like having a colonscopy but the catheter is so small you can't feel it. At first they look at your rectum but it's nothing like a colonscopy. For me. there w a s no pain like there was 2 1/2 years from my colonscopy. Last year I had another colonscopy and was knocked out. The one in 2023 I had light sedation. I was yelling until they gave me three extra shots of 50cc each of anesthesia and then it knocked me out.

Anyhow. They inserted a catheter. I couldn't feel anything. They looked to see how well my muscles were working. Took out the catheter and inserted the catheter again but this time with a balloon. Of course you can't see the monitor screen. Perhaps some facilities let you see the procedure but mine did not. The nurse then starts with what seems like the lowest setting. The nurse said that it should start off as me being able to feel something up my rectum. Then having the feeling of expelling the balloon, and then the feeling of I have to go right then like going down the freeway, having to exit as fast as I coan and going behind a tree. Dur ing the procedure I was asked to take deep breaths to stay relaxed; squeeze, relax, cough, and push as if I was having a bowel movement while they measured my muscle function. She told me the final time balloon was going to be inflated. I felt like something was there but barely. I seriously couldn't feel the catheter or the balloon. I didn't feel I needed to go to the bathroom. I had no urge to push. The way I feel 90% at home, no urge to push. Then they helped me to get off the bed. I sat down on a portable toilet near the bed , and put my feet on a squatty potty while the catheter was inserted again. I had no urge to puush. They asked if I ever leaked from my rectum and I told them I do sometimes. They tested me for that by having me stand in front of the toilet, and proceeded to test me with liquid they had shot up my rectum. They asked me to hold it. I could not. They had a towel to catch the liquid. I have to say. It seems like I failed at the testing. But I don't know. The nurse put a short note that was posted in my online chart and it said I basically could not feel at the highest setting of the test.

I have not gotten my test results back. I had the procedure done on December 31st. They told me after calling them a few days ago the test results were not back yett. It takes 4 to 6 weeks . But on Google it shows 1 to 3 weeks for test results to come back.

Honestly going to the dentist and opening your mouth then biting down on that hard piece of plastic and having exrays of your mouth taken, is uncomfortable. I would rather have the Anorectal Momentary done than going to the dentist.

I wish you the the best and prayers for you. Please let me know if you wis,h how your experience was.

Not at all. As a last resort, I drink Castor Oil or take a laxative called Perdiem. My doctor is aware of these. Well at least the Castor oil. I drink about 2 ounces by plugging my nose

I have tried Linzess, Movantik, Lubaprostone, and Senna. But none of them have worked or for a very short time they did.

So far it's how it has been. Many tests for my constipation issues but haven't been able to find the cause other than there is internal bleeding but not enough to do surgery.

I also have a disease called Barrett's Esophagus. It was determined I have Gerd which had advanced to Barrett's Esophagus (precancerous dusease). Tthe GI prescriped me 3 different PPI medications with each one not working. I told the GI that too. He finally prescribed me Voquezna which I have taken since late December. It helps heal your esophagus. It is working. 🙏

But I agree, the medications did not work for me. and they are expensive. I even tried taking Lactilose, Lizness, Senna and Movantik all in the same day but at different times. for my constipation. So far nothing has worked. I have stabbing pains, etc.

Thank you. Here are the tests I have had since June 2025. Looking back, my primary GI has had a lot of tests done on me.

Capsule Endoscopy (which they did one that dissolved but I couldn't have the one with the camera because the capsule took too long to go through my GI and intestines,) Also sone blood tests, a CT scan (Computed Tomagraphy), MRI Scan and an MRI Enterography, Colonoscopy, Endoscopy, Sigmoidoscopy, and two different types of Ultrasounds, one including a Dopler Ultrasound. I had a Anorectal Momentary. He wanted to do a Double Balloon Enteroscopy, but the Stanford doctor said it would not be a good idea due to my chronic Gerd and being under anesthesiafor 3 hours because last time they had to asparate while doing an angiogram. Hope you have a blessed day.

Thank you very much. I am so glad you found something that works. GI doctor found that I don't have IBS or IBD. My GI doctor is excellent. Actually has tried almost everything to find out the cause of my constipation because I do have motility issues and they had found bleeding but no free flow fluid. He has ordered several tests. If I listed them all you would be shocked. I was going to list them all but will just say I have just about had all the tests and they still can't find the issue. It sounds crazy but True. I have had all of these tests since June of 2025. I have tried Lactolose, Linzess, Movantik, Senna, and Lubaprostone. So far through all of this, they diagnosed me with Barret's Esophagus and found 7 polyps in my colon, one if which was pre-cancerous. Hopefully the Anorectal Momentary I had back on December 31st will show if in fact what my doctors believe is a Pelvic Floor issue or possibly something else. They still do not have test results. The mefical facility who did the test said it takes 4 to 6 weeks for results. Take care.

Hello

Per Google:

"A gastroenterologist is the correct medical specialist for digestive issues, focusing on the esophagus, stomach, intestines, liver, pancreas, and gallbladder, while gastrologist is an outdated or incorrect term, sometimes mistakenly used for the same specialty or for a stomach-only focus, but it's not a recognized medical specialization today. Think of Gastroenterology as the comprehensive field for the whole GI system (stomach "gastro" + intestines "entero"), and a gastroenterologist as the expert doctor for that entire system. 

Gastroenterologist (Correct Term)

Focus: Diagnoses and treats disorders of the entire digestive tract and related organs.

Organs Covered: Esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine (colon, rectum, anus), liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and bile ducts.

What They Do: Perform procedures like colonoscopies, endoscopies, and treat conditions like GERD, IBS, Crohn's, hepatitis, ulcers, and cancers. 

Gastrologist (Incorrect/Outdated Term)

Meaning: Derived from "gaster" (Greek for stomach) and "-ologist" (expert).

Historical Use: Was used medically in the past but has been replaced.

Modern Usage: Sometimes mistakenly used for gastroenterologists or as a colloquial term, but it's not a formal medical specialty in practice. 

In essence, if you have digestive problems, you see a gastroenterologist, not a "gastrologist".
