Post op expectations: After surgery, open or laparoscopic, there will be some degree of adynamic ileum. This is a condition where the gut motility slows down, due to surgical irritation and pain medicine. Don't fret, your post op bloating will soon resolve, and you'll be back to your old self very soon. If not, you're surgical team will discuss this on your post op visit. Good luck.
