It took a good three to four weeks especially with the urgency. The pain was gone, though. Even after three months, if I have a suggestion of a bowel movement, i head to the bathroom. But I do feel great. The adjustment seems minor. Keep positive

How was the frequency in the 3 wk time.? My surgery was Jan 9th and I am having 10-12 small stools a day. Will this get better?
I go back to work in 4 wks. I am a nurse and very active.
I told my doctor about this. So now taking my fiber supplement daily.
