Ms. Hines
I am sorry you are unwell, I suggest you make an appointment with a Gastroenterologist for long term follow up, in the interim go to the emergency room, the pain and lack of a bowel movement are reasons enough to seek treatment. Go back to the surgeon as well, they someone should do a HIDA scan, upper GI and possibly a barium enema as well as blood work to check your liver function, electrolytes and a CBC work. Stick to your feelings and tell them you are unwell, and cannot/will not leave until you know what is wrong and how to treat it/feel better. I had my Gallbladder removed in December 2022 and had a rocky go of it as well with 2 Ed visits, a GI visit, a PCP visit and back to the surgeon. Took about 8 weeks for me to start to eat I lost a good amount of weight, and have some normal bowel movements and feel better.

I went back to my surgeon after I was released from a 4 day hospital stay and the PA informed me nothing was wrong with me. I am doing so much better since I seen my chiropractor that I’ve been seeing since I was 14yrs old. Basically my GI tract was sleeping/ paralyzed from the very heavy narcotics they were giving me around the clock for 5 days straight
