A member asked:
After a operation is your stomach supposed to blow up with gas is that normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very common: This is typically self limited, and may last a few days or a couple weeks. More severe cases require a tube to be placed in the stomach to relieve vomiting. Stay well hydrated, and you should come around soon.
