I didn't have any test and started walking on my own about four hours after the surgery! You will want to walk if you have trapped gas like I do. Today I'm three day out just started passing gas last night feeling much better today no pain meds yet today. Hang in there you got this!
Hi about 15 hours post op and I have ro say I feel pretty good! I have been able to get about 10oz of room temp water down and a few small bites of Jello! Pain meds.are heaven sent I walk a few laps around the nursing unit every couple hours. Gas pain has been some what painful. Although I'm walking it's not passing feel like I have a big burb stuck.
