My surgeon called today and I found out besides LIS I also had a tag removal. That explains my pain now. Burning, stinging pain only at tag removal site. Now I know why my cousin was back to work in 5 days and I'm miserable. He only had LIS.
I still haven't had a bm. I'm taking mineral oil, 2 stool softeners, fiber and have taken 2 doses of mirilax. Nothing. I did take 2 pain killers and between that and the anesthesia I think it has constipated me. My surgeon told me to take some milk of magnesia. I'm so scared because I also have IBS and don't want diarrhea but something has to get things moving. I'm going to wait until morning because I don't want to be up all night in the bathroom! Anybody else have trouble going after surgery? What did you do? Is MOM going to make me miserable? My bum is already so sore the thought of diarrhea makes me want to cry.
Thanks for listening.
