I only had LIS and didn't have a rectocele, but my surgeon told me to "take action" if I hadn't had a bowel movement by day 4. It actually did come on day 4 and just slid out very easily. After surgery, the bowel naturally slows down, so while 4 days is at the end of the normal range, most people who have reported on this forum seem to go on day 3. I personally think that going back to work after only 5 days is probably far too early, but there have been a couple of really lucky people who have been able to do it. Good luck and do keep us posted on your progress.
