Just FYI, my constipation started after a hernia repair surgery. My abdomen was so weakened by the laparoscopic surgery, I could not bear down at all. I was terrified of popping a new hernia in the weakened areas. I became dependent on laxatives. Prior to the surgery at age 70, I had never taken a laxative in my entire life. Now, four years later, I am still constipated and just starting Motegrity. Best Wishes!
