Im 6 mo post TT w muscle repair, umbilical reconstruction, & lipo to flanks. I had a revision at the incision line April 26. Ive never had reg BMs but since the surgery Ive been obsessed with having BMs to reduce the swelling to the abd. How do I diffenciate if distention is related to fluid from lymphatic interruption or bloating from constipation. I started drinking laxative teas and/or Miralax. My stomach is usually flat in the AM or when I have BMs. Any help/recommendations appreciated.
I had a umbilical and a incarcerate epigastric hernia repair. 2-3weeks after my surgery the doctor advised me to get my bowel moving to take a laxative so did . 30mins after taking the laxative I heard this noise like a deflation of a ballon like when your letting the air out slowly ;then suddenly felt a instant drop & bloat at my navel. I Went back to doctor he says everything is okay as well as imaging looks fine. Its been about 11months now not able to poop , eat or, drink.
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 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
