If I was your surgeon, I'll be thinking:
would be helpful to know: are you male/female? age? fevers? Are you jaundiced (yellowish skin/eyes)?
So I'm thinking:
- you're probably on pain medication? so you may be constipated if you're not having stools (pain meds cause constipation)
- Dark urine more like dark yellowish may be due to high bilirubin which can be cause by a leakage along the biliary ductal system or injury.
If the pain & dark urine persists, definitely go back and see your surgeon.
Hope this helps
