Consult Your Doctor: This is a very good question. However, your surgeon would be the best person to answer this question. If you are having surgery, they should be aware of your medical conditions and potential complications.

Temporarily...: ...Your gut will likely relax during the time that anesthesia has you sleeping. Ibs returns unchanged when anesthesia wears off.
