robotic laprascopic surgery

[motheroftwo1970]

Hi. Just had robotic laprascopic surgery to remove my last  ovary and quite a bit of scar tissue 4 weeks ago. Having quite a bit of problems haing a bowel movement. Im going 5 to 7 days apart. have taken laxatives and given myself enema and stool softeners during this healing process and not having much luck. Has anyone had similiar problem and what did you do to solve it? im really miserable and doctors office didnt seem to be too worried when i called them. They said to wait till my appt which is in a week. also my hair is starting to fall out and they want to wait to put me on hormonal therapy in 3 weeks when my saliva test comes back. they put me on a patch right after surgery had really bad rash from it so now im on nothing. im praying that i dont get a bald spot. if anyone has had same problems please let me know.

I'm sorry to hear your Dr is keeping himself so busy with so many patients. I don't understand why Drs do that because they can't give their patients the time and attention they need. I think it's a great idea to see your family Dr. If the Miralax does'nt help your family Dr can give you a prescription for the constipation. You might want to also ask him about the cream your Gyno put you on.

Thank you for your advice. I did go to him for post-op two days ago. I realized he has too many patients. He thought I was in there for pre-op! Had no clue on me at all. Asked me what he told my husband after surgery of how the surgery went. Still wasnt too concerned about constipation issues. He did tell me to start taking miralax. So i'm going to go back to my family doctor for my issues. The visit with that gynecologist was just a waste of my time and his. He put me on a natural cream for the night sweats so I hope that works soon.
