walk walk walk and sip sip sip is the best way to resolve the issue whether it is fluids from iv or gas.

that is going to vary from person to person. for me 4-6 days.

I was bloated well into my second week post op. It all depends on how much you walk and how soon you go to the bathroom. The heating pad helped me a lot with bloating and gas!

It really depends on the person. For me I felt bloated for almost 2 months post op. I started on GasX then switched to a papaya enzymes and have been taking those every since to keep the bloating and gas under control. I haven't felt bloated since.
