Bowel Movement?

I was sleeved on 5/2 and have yet to have a BM. I was wandering if this is normal? Sorry if it'sTMI........

Well I got a fright - in my part of the world I read 5/2 as 5th February - dang, that is NOT ok! But I recovered . 2 May, today is 15th. Nope - I think you should ring your clinic.

By way of comparison, in my surgery we had an enema pre-surgery, but even so we couldn’t go home until we had a BM. I was bypass, though, but still almost two weeks is getting to be a fair bit of a backlog (if you will excuse the expression!!j

Best of luck with it...

My program says to call if no BM after 5 days. I was sleeved the same day as you and had BM on post op day 4. I did take some milk of magnesium the day before. I would think 12 days is pretty long and would probably call your doctor or nurse.
