Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thanks for putting your query in HCM. I am a Gastroenterologist (DM). I appreciate your concern regarding your father. it is good to hear that he has reduced the weight. 67 kg weight is ok for any surgery. For irregular bowel movements, I will advise him to take:
1.high fiber diet (may be psyllium fibers) and lots of liquid in diet
2.Take triphala powder one teaspoon with warm water or for better result mix it with honey and take it at time of sleep at night and one teaspoon in early morning empty stomach
3.Avoid foods that contain maida.
4. Take meals at least 2 hours before going to bed.
5. Take lots of fruits and vegetables daily
6. Also ask him to do regular exercise
I don't think there is anything to worry in two issues which you have mentioned. Surgery will carry the usual risk at least for these two issues. So be calm
However discuss with your doctor for any other issues
I hope I have answered your query and this will help you. If you have any further query I will be happy to answer that too. Wis him a good health
