How to get rid of gas pain after colon surgery? i've been walking a lot, but still a lot of trapped gas. how many days does it take to get 1st bm?

Few days: A few days usually. Remember you have not eaten for some days in between. If you are passing gas and no movement try taking a laxative to help with the first movement then it still maybe agee days until food goes thru ur system to get back to normal if you are not passing any gas maybe a bigger problem and you should get looked at asap.

Move about.: Walking helps. Avoiding narcotic pain medications hastens the return of bowel activity. Simethicone can help reduce gas pain. Extreme pain can be a signal of a surgical complication.
