Is it safe to start taking medicine before a BBL to prevent constipation?

Thank you for your question. Don"t take medicine, just eat a good plant based high fiber diet, and the constipation takes care of itself. Avoid fast food, cheese, milk, fried foods, meats, and instead eat high fiber foods, fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fish if you want something close to meat. Take Metamucil (Psyllium seed) if you want a supplement. I hope this helps!

Constipation is one of the most frequent annoyances that my patients report after surgery.  Fiber supplements and stool softeners (like docusate) are usually fine, but check with your surgeon to be sure!

Hi, thanks so much for your question, fiber and stool softeners are ok just don't take any other medication not prescribed by your doctor, or call him/her for advice, take care and good luck in your PS Journey!Respectfully,Dr. Jaime Campos-Leon
