Call your surgeon: This could all be related to the development of post-operative ileum (where the bowels slow down) and can be worsened with the use of narcotic pain medications. However, since you have several other medical problems, it would be safe for you to contact your surgeon's office to be seen. Meanwhile, drink fluids, walk as much as you can and if you vomit, have fever, or have wound drainage, go to er.
