The sedation and the actual physical trauma to your gut from the procedure could both be contributing to the constipation. I'd be as active as you can physically be, and drink lots of water, and keep your soluble fiber level up. You basically have to get your gut muscles back into a normal, functioning mode after they've been shut down by that sedative. Exercise will greatly help this.

Best,
Heather
