Thank for asking to HCM
I appreciate your concern this is constipation, you have gone through the gastric surgery so looking to this the underlying cause of this constipation has to be found out mean while you can manage this conservatively, and for that try " Isabgol powder, three tea spoon at bed time, drink more water, have fibber diet, this would give good result, hope this information helps you have nice day.
