Suggest Treatment For Chronic Constipation

Hi Sir...I am 67, a guy, and a quadruple by pass survivor 1 1/2 years ago, and lots of meds still, but doing really well. I have lost weight and exercise daily. But today the main problem is cronic constipation and unable to eliminate without laxatives. All kinds of laxatives and probably too much fiber . I can't go without them and sometimes I can't eliminate with their help. I've mentioned it to my care doc and he said add fiber to my diet. I hate to keep asking him 20 questions all the time
