Hello. I had my R en Y surgery this past monday 9/26. I was wondering how long does it usually take to have any sort of bowel movement? Going pee has not been an issue thank god

Try some warm tea, with the stool softener, it worked for me. Hope your on the "Move" soon, good luck.????

Milk of Magnesia is great plus no cramps like other meds

Prunes!! Put them in a saucepan cover with water and steep them. Drink some juice while it is warm and eat a few prunes. You will go!!

Anyone experiencing excessive drainage at the drain site where JP drain was connected? Post-op?
