So i just had LIS Surgery today and have questions.
How long should the pain last? It is not severe but is painful.
I have not had a BM yet but feel the need. I am obviously scared to death of this. Should i be? Should i have any concern because of the stitches possibly tearing?
I did take metamucil and coace about an hour ago but doubt that will help yet. Should I try to not have a BM the same day as the surgery?
Should i continue to get a warm bth after a BM or will this possibly cause issues with the stiches?
I was also using NitroBid prior to surgery and my Dr. said it was okay to keep using. This seems odd to me. Any suggestions?
I am so sorry for all the questions. I am fearful of doing something wrong and this not healing properly or worse yet getting an infection. Any input is greatl appreciated!!
Thank you all in advance!
