Gas

How long does it take for the gas to pass completely through your body

My surgery was about 5 days ago. From what I have read on this forum, it is highly variable. The gas pains started to feel somewhat better yesterday, day 4, but were still there. This morning feels a little better still. Walking does seem to help.

My surgery was 4 days ago.. when I woke up it was like someone had punched me in the tummy. Painful but not too bad. I started walking very lightly like 3 hours after surgery (to the bathroom, around the room) and I felt it getting better every few steps. Day 2 is better, day 3 it's just a minor occasional nuisance. Good luck.

I am day two post-op and I find that lots of walking, peppermint tea and some sort of chewable wind tablet (Windeze in the UK) really helps!
