A 41-year-old male asked:
Had hiatal hernia surgery. Can't pass gas or go to bathroom. I have so much bloating, pain, nausea and pressure. How can I relieve it?

After surgery...: If the surgery was just recent and you cannot pass gas at all and in pain you need to go to the emergency room right now. This could be something very dangerous and without directly giving you an exam I cannot make a guess. Don't wait please, go right away.

It depends: Sometime surgeries are not successful. You should be taking a pump inhibitor.

Follow up: See your primary care physician. Check if bloating is associated with eating milk-based products or legumes
