Digestion Recovery
Like I said in other posts, best decision ADR was the best decision, no regrets.
Difficult to find threads on bowel function full recovery and you seemto have lots of experience with that.
It's now one week after surgery and while I was prepared for that bowel "waking up" sequence, I seem to have to help things moove along through the lower end of things...
Off the pain meds so tha's not a factor. At this stage (compared to kost of the post op comments I see hear), I'm probably being a bit impatient (hey, not complaining).
My healthy cycle before op was in the neighborhood of 18-20 hours. Now, after 2 days of bowel build-up (twice now), I just go nuclear with the phosphates (pressure on those stitches make it neccessary "ouch").
What's the norm that you've seen with a "no complications" case?
Thanks,
Brian
