Starting normal bowel routines...

How long before you had your first bowel movement after surgery?

I am going into day 7... should I be concerned?

Yes that's too long. Take some milk of magnesia to help you go tomorrow. My NUT told me 3 days and no BM then use MOM

I went on morning of day 6. MOMs did help. But call your surgeon and see what they suggest. Different Drs like different methods.

Ok.... I will do that

Thanks all...
