Bowel immotility - I had a tummy tuck on 1/6/23. In August of last year, I started having severe pain, like binding a corset. Now my bowels are not moving and the pain is excruciating. Is there a correlation. I have had several xrays, scans etc. and they don't reveal any organ problem. Could my nerve that controls my bowels be damaged from procedure. I need help.

Answer: Surgery It is very unlikely that your tuck has anything to do with your bowel movements. The tuck was done on top of your muscles, and your intestines are all deep to your muscles. Go see a gastroenterologist and be checked for food allergies. You have something else going on internally.

Answer: Hi Tasteful637424 Get well soon, please take him to a general surgeon as soon as possible. I do not think that these complaints are related to tummy tuck surgery. I would like to give you some information about tummy tuck surgery. Once you decide for this procedure, your pre-operative preparations are completed.The surgery may take 2-5 hours depending on the procedure. I think you have an incision line that can be hidden under underwear and is 8-10 cm below the navel and above the hairy area. This area is the area that does not reach your intestinal lining before and after the surgery. While this procedure is performed, a second incision is made around your navel, according to the surgeon's preference. After the surgery is completed, the incision line is closed with either metal staples, individual stitches on the skin, or hidden stitches under the skin, and covered with dressings. One or two tubes called drains may be placed to remove excess fluid collected in the area. During the surgery, a urinary catheter is usually used on the first day. After you stand up, the urinary catheter is removed and the process is completed after you pass urine and stool. Your current complaints cannot be a complication related to this operation.
