HI. This may not be related to the previous operation. What are the there associated symptoms? Is there distension / vomiting/ loose motions or constipation? As the age advances there can be problem of constipation and may be obstruction to the bowels causing this problem. I would advise such patients to go for clinical examination, ultrasonography, standing x-ray abdomen to see if there is obstruction.
