hi All,

I had surgery for 2 small incisional hernias on Thur. Morning . Was released from hospital on fri afternoon. Since then I have had a very poor appetite , been very nauseous, and my pouch hasn't "woken up". Have not had a bm since pre-surgery. Is it just a matter of time for things to start working again? I'm on hydrocodone, zofran for nausea, and a stool softener dulcosate.
Any help/advice is appreciated. My surgeon recommended going to the er if things weren't better today.

I wonder if you could be experiencing ileus. If you haven't had a bowel movement since Thursday (or Wednesday), it may be time to give the doc a call.

Yes, it's a matter of time before things start working again, but I think you've passed that goal post. I know you're taking zofran, but are you throwing up? If so, you really should get to the ER.

I hope this resolves very soon!

Kathy,

I had the dry heaves on fri night and sat. Hadn't really been able to eat anything . I did have a bm this morning at around 7 am, and that was a relief. I stopped pain meds now because I think they were causing most of the nausea, and the pain is bearable. Drinking pedialyte and water. Had a bowl of cereal. Think I'm turning the corner (fingers crossed)

Thank you very much
T
