Question:
I am four days post op, should I be worried if I haven't had a bowel movement?

Anna: since you were cleaned out really good before your surgery and
you've probably only had liquids since your surgery, I would not find this
odd. If you begin to feel bloated &/or uncomfortable after a few more
days, call your surgeon...good luck, Judy

I did not have a bowel movement until I was about 10 days post op. DOn't
worry, just get your fluids in and do what your surgeon says. It will
happen!

NO, don't worry. It was day 14 for me. Now when I went, I really went, but
it is absolutely nothing to worry about yet. Congratulations on having your
surgery completed.

Anna- I am 11 days post op- I had a very loose BM in hosp- but a normal one
about 3 days ago. It will take time to build up with the liquids we are
drinking. Congrats! I feel great! Hope you do too. Carolyn

I am 11 days post-op. I didn't have my first loose bowel movement until 5
days post-op. I was told that everyone's organs come back to life at a
different rate. You are doing fine I am sure. Happy Holidays and welcome
to the losing side!!
