Contact your surgeon regarding the bathroom issue. Anesthesia and other medication could be a factor.

Going to the bathroom after surgery.

I would recommend you contact your surgeon to let him know your concern. This is common to happen due to pain medication and anesthesia.

Thank you for your question. You should urinate without difficulty, but a bowel movement may take 24-48 hours if you did not have anything to eat. Longer than 48 hours should prompt a call to your doctor. I hope this helps!
