Answer: Change in Bowel Habits Many people will have temporary changes in their bowel habits following surgery. This typically lasts a few days and is related to narcotics received during or after surgery. Since you are having issues that have extended beyond this timeline, it is appropriate that a gastroenterologist evaluate you. Good luck with the colonoscopy.

Answer: Constipation Thank you for your question. It is quite common to experience constipation following surgery especially if you are taking pain medication. If over-the-counter medications and diet have not been helpful, my advice would be to follow-up with your plastic surgeon as well as your primary physician. Best of luck.
