Please clarify, can you not pee or stool?

If you cannot pee this is a sign of dehydration. Not sure how your intake is, but you need to up the fluids stat.

If you cannot stool, 6 days is really pushing it. Bandsters either experience diarrhea or Constipation. You sound like you are getting constipated which is the result of the opiates you are probably taking and diet change.

However there are other issues like intestinal paralysis from anesthesia. Not to scare you, but this is why you need to communicate these abnormalities to your doc so they can do the tracking and assessing to determine if it's normal, prescribe your meds or softeners to get you restarted or order tests to for other diagnoses.

You need to call your surgeon's office and get help and advice. Now. You should have had a movement days ago. Also, if you don't normally have headaches, suddenly getting one can be a symptom of a problem. You could be dehydrated, or there could be a bigger problem. I am not kidding, here, You need to be on the phone to your surgeon's office. If the headache suddenly intensifies, get to the ER.

Please don't wait until September 13. Not taking care of this now could compromise your recovery and you don't need to be miserable while you are healing.
