Follow these simple ways on how to do a number 2 silently...
1. One way is to put toilet paper in the toilet and let it float, so when it comes out, it doesn't make a "plop" sound.
2. Another way is to move up to the front of the toilet, so it slides down the edge and gently into the water.
3. However, the best solution is to realize that every person alive has bowel movements, whether silently, noisy, or neither. If you're embarrassed by bodily functions, realize everyone else has felt embarrassed too. But, we're human!

Is intestinal bacteria dispensable in humans?
No; having intestinal bacteria is not only normal and healthy, it also necessary for some normal functions of the intestine. Some examples:
Vitamin K is made by gut bacteria. At birth, since we haven't yet accumulated these bacteria, and since Mom's vitamin K doesn't cross the placenta well, newborns are invariably vitamin K-deficient. Vitamin K is necessary for proper blood clotting, so newborns have a tendency to bleed more than someone with adequate vitamin K. In the US and other countries, newborns are given a does of vitamin K to help give them what their gut bacteria will be providing them later.
The same story goes when people are given antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off not only offending bacteria, but also deplete the gut bacteria. As a result, folks on antibiotics have a tendency to be vitamin K-deficient. To remedy this, hospitalized patients are frequently given vitamin K in addition to their antibiotics.
Gut bacteria also have an important role in protecting us from other more dangerous (pathogenic) bacteria. For example, we all have a little bit of a dangerous bacteria called Clostridium difficile hanging around in our guts. In most of us, there's a balance between C. diff and the other less harmful species of bacteria in our guts. When this balance is thrown off, for example, by "gut cleansing" procedures, antibiotics, etc., C. diff and other dangerous bacteria can become overgrown and threaten the normal health of their host.
Those are a few examples of how gut bacteria (also called intestinal flora) are helpful and decidedly not dispensable in humans.

It depends on how soon after surgery and what type of hernia. So, you should contact your surgeon's office for advice. There are some bowel problems that can occur immediately after surgery, especially surgery on the abdomen, due to the surgical manipulation of the intestines or other organs, anesthesia, narcotics for pain, etc. These can often temporarily cause the bowels to stop functioning properly. Your surgeon will need to advise you on what to do if your postoperative instructions do not give guidance about this problem. In the meantime, be sure you are carefully following any dietary recommendations that the physician gave you after surgery, taking plenty of fluids to keep hydrated, avoiding overuse of pain medication and moving and walking within your tolerance according to your physician's directions. Do not let this problem linger or it can get worse.
