Specializes in Trauma Surgery

Your surgeon: First, it all depends on what surgery you had and for what reason. So, there is no single answer to the timing of return to normal bowel function. The first place to start is to see your surgeon, they know you the best and should have no problem answering this question. Give the office a call today. If you can't get an answer, please provide more details about your surgery.

Surgeon and GI Dr: Presumably, your surgeon and your GI doctor know you the best. They should be interested in your progress, especially during your recovery.
