Absolute Constipation After TC Surgery

[Guest guest]

I am responding to 's post about the above. I also had severe

constipations much worse than before surgery in the days immediate after

surgery (despite Colace and Senokot). In the end the nurse therapist gave

me a different lemony concoction which did the trick.

I would definitely contact the ward and ask about it.

Unfortunately my bowel problems remain significantly more difficult than

before operation. It may be that this is due to bowel adhesions from

previous shunt placement surgeries. My PCP is investigating.
