My doctor didn't require it. I hadn't eaten anything in the previous 72 hours, so there wasn't much chance of that happening! :o

My doc likes bowel sounds so much - he bought the album! :P

lol now that is funny..... My Dr did not even listen and I did not have any action for 12 days ..... Oh my that was not fun. However, now that the plumbing is working well I am a happy camper!

I didn't go for like 10 days. It sucked so I feel your pain.

Not sure what pain meds you were on in the hospital but narcotics definitely make you itch like a previous poster mentioned. Morphine is notorious for it (I was itchy for days after stopping the morphine from my c-section) !! But even pain meds like Vicodin and Percocet can do it too. So if its all over, it could definitely be that! If its local to your incisions it could be an allergic reaction to the adhesive (I will even welt from certain adhesives). Either way, a half a dose of Benadryl can really help and it comes in a liquid children's version. Of course double check with your doc ;)

Congrats on such a successful surgery!!! :)
