Constipation

2021-07-17 02:43:50
Hello I had laproscopic appendectomy 6 weeks ago. I didn't had any complications during surgery. Recently, I have been facing constipation and pain in upper right abdomen. My surgeon asked to do an ultrasound of abdomen. The reports came out as excessive gas filled small bowel loops. What does that mean? And what should I do? My doctor prescribed me antacid and laxative.
