I am nearly 6 weeks out from surgery and having a lot of bathroom issues. I gave up Citrucel, which I used to take daily, 2 weeks before surgery and I'm wondering if it's okay to resume it now. Anyone else had this experience?

When did your surgeon say it was ok to resume?

Yeah, I forgot to ask him at my first post-op appointment, and I don't see him again for another 2 months. I will ask my GP instead! Thanks for replying.

You should have a number to contact your surgeons office at... this is a question that should be asked of them. GP advice is good and all, but I'd ask the surgical team this question to be extra safe.
