Hey @cjay it’s Saturday and I’m up and around and eating rather bland stuff. My abdomen sounds like backed up plumbing, but no BM yet. My surgeon recommended coffee to get me going 🤪 and I thought of you. Perhaps, in this instance, I should give it a try so they’ll let me go home! 😊👍

Hi Terri, When I was in post-op reversal they gave me a Dulcolax suppository after waiting 3 days for something to start working. Good luck!

Hey @terrihodges I’ve been thinking about you! You sound good- and go ahead and have that coffee. At least it will get you home😉 A salad would probably also do it! Walk as much as you can, it gets everything moving! I did laps around my floor!
I spent 2 nights and went home my 3rd day.

@terrihodges
How are you feeling? Are you home from the hospital?
Sending lots of good juju!
