Not common: To my knowledge, and i'm not a gyn surgeon, gassiness is not common after a hysterectomy. I would look for any changes in your diet that might have occurred at the same time, or an increase in gum chewing which can in turn lead to more air swallowing.

Had a complete hysterectomy including ovaries in 2008. I had an incision from navel down. Am I still at increased risk of bowel obstructions this many years later? I go back and forth between constipation and normal but still able to pass gas.
