Constipation, Acute
"I recently had a laparoscopic hysterectomy.  As some of you may know, anesthesia from surgery can cause the bowels to basically just stop moving.  Add to this the trauma of surgery in a nearby region, combined with taking narcotics, and I was MISERABLE.  It took 3 days for it  to work, but when it did it was a major miracle.  I did not realize constipation could be so bad you&#039;d consider that you might DIE.  Miralax not only works, but it does not give you the horrible sick cramps you get with stimulant laxatives.  Just the best ever."
