My sister is 3 days post op and still hasn't had a bowel movement. We have tried a laxative and stool softener. What is the next best option? She also has a very bubbly gassy stomach, is it ok to take Gas-X?

Answer: Gas - X after Tummy Tuck / Abdominoplasty? In general, gas– ex is appropriate to take after a tummy tuck. That said, you should only do so after discussing the matter with your plastic surgeon. It is common to have a delay in having bowel movements after surgery. There're many modalities you can try to help things move along:High fiber dietDrink lots of waterContinue with stool softeners such as ColaceTry eating prunesYou may need to take a suppository such as dulcolax, etc.Your surgeon will be a very good resource to help you. Please be in touch with them.I wish you the best.
