Michele:

What you are experiencing is normal. I had the same problems. And, I don't know if your dr mentioned this to you, but anesthesia causes constipation. Also, your muscles and everything are going to be very tender for a while which obviously could cause bowel movement probs. I called my dr after my last lap to ask him about these things and he suggested that I get some fibor to take (to soften the stool) from the store. I believe I bought something called "fibercon", but I am sure anything will work. Just take it in the morning with your breakfast (always take things like this with food, never on an empty stomach) and within a day or two it should make things easier. I hope you start feeling better soon.
