Hi Ronald, Welcome to HealthcareMagic Forum.
How often is she passing stools? It is common to experience constipation after any major abdominal surgery due to stress and reduced bowel movements. Do not worry, it is not a a serious issue. Take her to her Surgeon so that she/he can examine her and Prescribe Laxatives. Give her Plenty of Water and Fiber rich foods like Fresh fruits and Green Leafy vegetables. Ask her to move around and walk often, as it will increase the Bowel movements.
Good Luck.
