Sorry if any of this is to much information (TMI). I know that there can be different degrees of an obstruction. Basically I was wondering the symptoms. With a partial obstruction you can still continue to "go", is that correct? And if you are still "going", it is a huge task to try to get your body started. Here is the a TMI. When I try to go, I can't because it seems my body has completely forgotten what to do. I am pushing but not in the manner that my body expects me to. It is so weird and I feel like an idiot. I have gained weight, a lot of weight and I feel like a am going to blow up. You know like on Thanksgiving day when you overeat. The only difference is I am not overeating. If anything I am eating less than what I normally would eat. My sudden weight gain can be a lot of other things. I hope I have not said to much. Thanks for any information you can give. Ann Marie
