I know I haven't had a normal BM for 2 months, since my last surgery. I'm hoping to get a referral to a colo-rectal surgery from my new PCP tomorrow. I imagine I'll have to go through all the torturous bowel tests first before they decide what to do. I have about 1 BM a week, enduced only. Before surgery I had normal BM's without ever needing laxatives or enemas or any of that. So I'm trying to get to the bottom of this problem, and if I need surgery, the colo-rectal guy can handle it all, bowels and adhesions. Gina
