<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.My hubby had his gull bladder taken out last Thursday surgery and yes has not had a bowel movement yet stomach still hurts he has tried the milk magnesia has been over 24 hours and just tried some prune juice today a cup, says he does not feel like eating or hungry hardly, he did eat today a meal should that be normal?  <response>: Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. It may still be just a normal postoperative course, however considering recent surgery, he should definitely go to hospital and see his surgeon since it may indicate certain postoperative complications such as:1. Abscess2. Postoperative ileus3. Postcholecystectomy syn Chat Doctor. Try to heavier easier diet, more liquids and probiotics. It may take up to 2 weeks till digestion stabilize completely.Wish you good health. Regards
