Yes: Laparoscopic surgery usually involves pumping gas inside your abdomen to be able to better visualize organs. In addition, the anesthesia medications used can have GI side effects. Finally, staying in the hospital and eating hospital food can affect your bowel movements. However, symptoms are usually mild and should resolve/improve within a couple of days. Hope you feel better soon!
