A member asked:

I had an appendix surgery a week and half ago and today i have bad gas and feel nauseous. should i be concerned about this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: In fact it is a really good sign to be passing gas after surgery. It shows the bowel is working again. Nausea is also common after surgery. If you develop severe increased pain or high fevers, call your doctor. Hope this helps!
