Question : Hi, I got an appendectomy a little over a month ago and had no problems afterwards. However, over the last week I’ve been have pebble-like hard stools. Should I be concerned?
Brief Answer:
Nothing to be worried

Hello dear,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
I don't think that you should be concerned.
The hard stools does not seem to be related to the appendectomy.
I recommend to follow diet rich in fibers such as fruits and vegetables.
I also recommend to drink a lot of liquids.
You can also try stool softeners to help.
