I went through my tummy tuck feb 4th and have a lot of gurgling in my tummy but i have not been able to have a bowel movement. I've been eating a lot of fiber and been drinking Prune juice as well as "fiber wise" How long should i go without being worried about having a bowel movement? I was really regular before surgery!
I had a TT 1 week ago & just today I noticed that my vaginal walls are swollen & even seem to be prolapsed to an extent. I have been constipated but have recently started having bowel movements. I do not strain because of my procedure. This is odd to me & I never have experienced this. I have 2 kids, my youngest was born 7 mths ago, & still today is the 1st day of my life that I have experienced this. It does not hurt & really only protrudes out when I use the restroom.
I had my surgery June 19th. Brachioplasty, tummy tuck and some lipo around hips and saddle bags. I havent had a bowel movement since I had surgery 5 days now. Im very nervous about it since I have taken opioids for pain and I know they cause constipation. I dont want want to have to push for obvious reasons. Ive been taking colase, does nothing. An advice? Im scared!
unintentially have lost 50 lbs, been to ER'S, hospitalized, unable to urinate, only while lieing down with right leg propped on pillows, unable to have BM'S without laxatives. bedridden, body under pressure being pulled downON R/SIDE Will a Dr. please give me an idea of what ipopped now taking my life. Also, had TT undone last month, did not help at all, right side still much lower than left and urine seems to be jiggling around, as if bladder has been squeezed down along with rectum.
I had my bowel movement for the first time 7 days after my tummy tuck but it was very little so I still felt very constipated, so two days later on day number 9 I went again and this time it hurt it a lot when I had to push and I felt like something move inside my tummy, I called the doctor and she told me if everything look the same it was because probably everything was okay but I'm still very worried and I want to ask if somebody went through something similar thank you
I tried laxative and magnesium and both of my drains seem to be clogged .My surgery was 4/9 which is 6 days ago , I got my surgery done in Miami so I cant just go see the doctor
I had a muscle repair and small tummy tuck 2 weeks ago. Bowel movement has been fine until 2 days ago and I really really strained going to the toilet 2 days in a row for minutes at a time. I'm so worried I have damaged the internal stitches. My whole abdomen aches down the middle, How can I tell if I've done any damage
I had a tummy tuck with lipo 7 weeks ago. For the last week I have had very painful cramping with loose mucousy stools all morning and within a half hour after I eat anything. Could this be something caused by the tummy tuck or muscle repair? Bowel movements and appetite were normal after surgery until this started. Could I have a bowel obstruction?
