Constipation on and off since lap app 5 weeks ago. a lot of stomach gurgling and rumblings constantly. pooping at 3 am. added more fiber. worried. ?

No,it is normal: lack of activity,and pain medication,and the abdominal pain associated with any abdominal surgery will do that. walking,or exercise,hydration,eating more fruits and vegetables,and more fibers,will help regulating your bowels again. so what you are experiencing is very normal,and there is nothing to worry about. if keep persisting,check with your surgeon.
