It's been 6 weeks now since my cystectomy. My recovery has mainly been ok although with some blips along the way. The one thing that is starting to get me down is some changes in my bowel habits which are starting to concern me. I will have a word with the doctors but I was wondering whether anyone has any similar experience following an RC.
I was getting some awful constipation so a couple of weeks ago I spoke to my GP who prescribed a laxative, which I've been using and is keeping the constipation at bay. I don't seem to be able to eat much now without feeling so full and feel I need to go to the loo. Seem to be going about 3 times a day at the moment without really feeling that's I'm going properly.
As I say, I will have a word with the doctors but has anyone found that their bowel habits changed following their surgery? Did this settle down and revert back to normal?
Thanks and Regards
Mike
