Had appy in march. could it have messed up my bowels? problem with constipation since. linzess? increased fiber too fast? too big to pass. hemorrhoid

No: The operation did not cause your constipation! It is highly unlikely that you developed surgical adhesions post-op. If you changed your dietary habits that could have caused the constipation which is almost always dietary in nature.
