Constipation after appendix surgery?
I had my appendix removed by a laparoscopy 5 days ago (Sunday). I was able to eat by the next day and I was able to poop by Wednesday, I even pooped more than once (I think 3 times). However it's Friday now and I haven't gone since then. I am not taking any pain killers except Advil, and the last time I took any other pain killers was on Tuesday. I had to take a prescription pill for nausea yesterday but I don't know the name of it. What is wrong? What can I do? I saw the surgeon for a follow up already and I didn't tell him about it because I didn't know I was constipated yet.

Is this just one of those myths that people put out or is that true? If it is true, why wouldn't the doctor tell you this? I should further qualify that I had a traditional vertical c-section (just below the navel to bottom of belly), not the lower belly transverse one.

How many months should I wait to go to the gym after an appendix surgery?
Being someone who hits the gym 6 days a week and who's been through an appendix surgery, I suggest you stay away from the gym for atleast 3 months. You can start after 2 months but why take the risk? I know you'll have food restrictions for the first few weeks after surgery which will weaken you. It takes time to get back to form. After 3 months start gradually with body weight, floor and free exercises. Give it a good 2 to 3 weeks. Then start weight training. Again, do not lift like there's no tomorrow. Take it easy and you'll be back in form in the following couple of weeks. Good luck!
