Bloated and gassy after 4 weeks postop

Has anyone experienced feeling gassy and bloated 4 weeks post op?

I had been feeling fine when all of a sudden BOOM I started feeling this way. When I get up from my seat it feels strain on my tummy, when drinking it's a little uncomfy not too much, and gassy. Oh and my tummy is bloated around the incision areas compared to yesterday morning. I starting noticing this uncomfortable feeling after my first low impact workout Wednesday night. FYI I called my doc and waiting on call.

Thoughts?

Who is your doctor?Are you able to take omezarapole or gas-x or Pepcid?

You may want to reach out to your surgeon on dietitian for some advice. I know when I was having sever issues with gas and bloating after surgery, and stupidly trying to eat salads on 4 weeks post op, I was suffering from server gas and bloating pains. I wound up taking Gas-X along with some Papaya enzyme supplements to help get my digestive system back on track. In addition to those I also started taking a probiotic gummies too. Those things along with Fiber has pretty much kept me gas and bloating free for the past 5 months.

Papaya Enzyme Supplements:

Fiber:

Now I'm only taking the Papaya (daily) and the Fiber (ever other morning) and I haven't had issues with gas or bloating.

Are you running a temperature at all or have chills? When I spoke with my surgeon today about gas pains, these are the things he asked me and stated with worsening gas pain, I'd need a CTScan to check for a leak. With the introduction of new exercise today, I wouldn't panic but I'd definitely put in another call to your surgeon just to be on the safe side.
