TMI...still no BM since the 17th of June (Updated)
I have just about had it. I haven't had a BM since the day before my TAH on the 18th of June. Everyday I think that today might be the day.....wrong. I am taking at least 3 stool softeners a day. The biggest thing is that I started to have pain in my chest right under the breast bone today, I am hoping this has EVERYTHING to do with this other issue. Dr, appt on friday to check the incision infection. I am hoping that I have no reason to talk to him about this by then.
Anyone have any suggestions or home remedies for this?

Umm.. you haven't had a BM since the 17th? So that would be 12 days? You need to get checked out. That is not right. You need to call ASAP to get checked out... Please KUP on how you are feeling

Hmmm! That does not sound right to me either. Your Dr should need to know about this so they can help you. Don't wait.

Re: TMI...still no BM since trhe 17th if June
No BM for that long is worrisome. Questions: have you been moving about alot? Walking around more gets things moving, as well as the types of foods you eat help also. Perhaps your doctor can suggest a few things. Are you taking pain medicines or iron pills? Those things can really back you up quickly and for a long time. I had my TAVH in February and remember not going for a week but since the 17th is a long time, so I'd call the doctor and see if you can take some colace or another stool softener or suppository (sp?) for that. Don't jump to conclusions that it's something awful, and don't be alarmed if he askes you to come in for a check up. You did just have major surgery and your body needs time to readjust. I suggest that you keep a notepad with your questions, symptoms and possibly when and what you are eating to tell your doctor. Good luck!

Have you been drinking enough water? I would try & eat a lot of fruit & fiber too. It can take a while but that does seem like a long time. Best wishes.

PLEASE CALL THE DOCTOR ASAP. Impaction and blockages can be life threatening and may cause tears or a rupture in your digestive tract, which can lead to serious complications and be life threatening.
This can be VERY SERIOUS and I can't stress enough that you should not delay, not even one more day!
I don't mean to scare you but people still die from this.

Re: TMI...still no BM since trhe 17th if June
I agree with everyone else. CALL YOUR DR.
On day six post op for me, I had no bm either. I called the dr and they told me some things to try (based on the meds I was already on), They specifiacally stated that if I had not had a bm by noon the following day (7 days post-op) to call them for further instructions. Luckily all went well that evening, but I was in pain before. Dr did call the next day in the afternoon to make sure I had gone.

Re: TMI...still no BM since trhe 17th if June
OMG!! I had my first day 3 and my doc was upset by that!
suppositories are needed to start in my case but after that-smooth sailing- Aleve for pain citracel 2x per day.
I hope by now you have not only been to see your doctor but gotten relief- he never should have let you go this long.
PLEASE let us know what the scoop is!!!!
praying for you!!
