My husband just had his gallbladder taken out this past Saturday and was home by Monday, but he's dealing with a lot of fluid buildup and came home with a drain tube. What's really worrying me is he's having trouble breathing. Plus, he hasn't had a bowel movement since the surgery. I'm anxious about the breathing issue especially since the doctor didn't mention anything about it. What should we do?
