How long does it usually take to have first bowel movement after recocele surgery? taking ducalx and meralx already

Ask your surgeon: You need to ask your surgeon as the extensiveness of the rectocele repair is unknown and whether you are on a low residue diet or not. Both of these factors will determine the time of the first bowel movement.
