Can my stomach be pumped?

My stomach is full of poop. Can I get my stomach pumped? Since I was a kid, I never really pooped I would just hold it. I poop once or twice a week. My stomach is bloated, so I was wondering if I could get some if not all of the poop pumped out of my stomach. I was going to do liposuction but the doctor said all he could do was remove some of the fat. I'm 22 5'7 and I weight 195. I try to work out all the time but it just isn't working all that well.

His stomach was distended. They had to do an enema...it washed out all the brick hard poop.

Try Miramax or...I hate to say it...an Enema. My 4 year old son had that issue to the point of going to a hospital. They tried all the natural remedies

It sounds like you would like two separate issues addressed - longstanding constipation, and weight management. For the constipation (with resulting bloating), you have probably tried several over-the-counter laxatives and fiber already. A gastroenterologist could help you to manage that, and if those are not effective, may try prescription medicines for chronic constipation.

As for weight loss, you have probably tried diets and exercise, but a professional like a dietitian or weight management physician might be helpful. Controlling your calorie intake is key for weight loss, and exercise is key for maintaining weight loss. Calorie control can be a low carb diet, low-fat diet, or (ideally) gradual calorie reduction with a balanced diet with additional fiber, and elimination of highly processed snacks. An app like MyFitnessPal can help you to see where you are and then gradually reduce your calories to your goal. Weight loss this way can give you long-term health benefits that a liposuction would not. With a BMI of 30.5 you could also consider a newer treatment like the intragastric balloon.

No offense, but you have the wrong mindset. you are focusing on a symptom rather than the cause of the problem. The problem is what needs to be discovered and corrected. Only then can the symptoms improve. there is such a long list of Gastrointestinal problems that can occur. Just from looking at your height and wieght, I can tell you need to change your diet in a ddition to have a full Functional Medicine Evaluation. Learn about that here: http://orangeparkchiropractor.com/functional-medicine/

There is no way to "pump out" the colon. You need to see a doctor, probably a gastroenterologist, in order to determine why you have lifelong constipation, and to get you on the proper treatment.
