5 days after takedown - 10 hours with no movement

Former Member

Maybe I am overreacting but I just came home from the hospital yesterday, 5 days after takedown surgery, and last night I went to be around 10pm after going to the bathroom, and actually slept through the night and did not have to go to the bathroom until a little after 8am this morning. Since this morning, only a little at a time comes out and it varies between rabbit pellet sized formed stool, and then liquidy. Is this normal? I was expecting to be up at least a few times during the night like I was at the hospital? I noticed also that I never really feel fully evacuated. I'm afraid to "push" because I don't want to get a hernia or damage anything - the incision area hurts if I try to strain/push at all. Any advice? Should I call the doctor, or give it time?
