My husband had laproscopy appendectomy day before yesterday. He was only able to pass urine nearly 20 hours later and has been able to open bowels only this morning. His stomach was very very bloated yesterday and he now has a tube inserted through his nose to collect bile. He has just vomitted a lot of green bile. He is also diabetic. I am worried that the docs are not telling me everything
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in Chat Doctor. I am a Gastroenterologist. It can be paralytic illus that is decrease movement of the intestine which can occur after any abdominal surgery. It will take time 2 to 3 days, and will resolve itself. Furthermore, it can be confirmed by doing X-ray of abdomen which will be showing dilated bowel loops. I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. Wish you a good health
