Hello to all, i did post a request last week but only really aimed it at the guys who had a bag reversal. to be fair i only got 1 reply from Tammy (thankyou) so im now going to also put the question out to everybody who had surgery. Im now 9 days out of surgery and still in a bit of discomfort, just want to know if anyone can relate to this and has anybody got any good tips. Weds and Thurs last week i was getting the pushing feeling that my bowels were opening this happened about 40 times per night but when i sat on the lav i was only able to pass very small stools. It was if my backside resembled a cigar cutter. This was very frustrating and got very sore. Then friday i hardly passed anything at all. Then on to saturday. Again passed nothing in the day but the bloatedness started to get worse as the day wore on. because of the discomfort i was getting i took it on myself to take a Movicol which is meant to ease constipation. well it kicked it virtually straight away and i never left the toilet from 8pm to 1.30am (over 5 hours!!)
I havent been yet today although probably because most of it went yesterday. I also rang my hospital who advised i should go to the A&E dept in case i have a blockage?? My main concern is, why is it always the evening when i need to go? I have two nights out in the diary for this week and im not looking forward to them. Im hoping it will get easier but how long will it take, at the moment im scared to leave the house. I also would like to know whether anyone else experienced just passing small amounts??
Thanks for taking the time to read this
