Pain after surgery

I had laparoscopic surgery about a week and a half ago, and I still cannot pee without being in terrible pain.

How to stop Orilissa?

I’m on my second month of Orilissa and it has been quite a short ride. I have lost ten pounds since starting Orillissa because my anxiety has been so bad that I have trouble eating.
Do I just start taking my bc in place or Orillissa dose?
