I drank half of a bottle of milk of magnesia and then the other half 6 hours later after no results. My mom is taking care of me and she wants to take me to the hospital, which I would like to avoid if possible. I have some Miralax... can I take that? Thank you for your input.

Answer: BBL with No BM Great Question!!Very important to remove the post surgical breakdown products from your body. As always contact your plastic surgeon for treatment. High fiber with increase raw vegiatabe intake is recommended to promote movements.Over the last 20 years of practice, the current medication that relieves most of my patients is a product sold over the counter and in some stores is still dispensed from the pharmacist but does not require a perscription.The product is called Peri - Colace. Be sure it has the word Peri on the label. This product has a stimulant to help the bowel muscle increase their contractions when they are asleep form the narcotics used for pain control. I usually ask patients to take it twice a day until they have a bowel movement, then once a day to maintain daily bowel movements until the narcotics are no longer needed.I wish you well in your recovery!!Dr McAdoo
