Constipation is very common following surgery. Stopping narcotics and staying well hydrated are important. I recommend that you drink a large bottle of prune juice, not prune drink, but prune juice. Also, Smooth Move tea can be helpful, you’ll find it in the tea section of most every grocery store. Last but not least, a dulcolax tab orally and a dulcolax suppository placed rectally is usually fool proof. Best of luck.
