How to pass gas after surgery
Walk around as soon as possible.
Your surgeon will advise you to walk as soon as you're able. If necessary, a nurse or other medical professional will help you move around the recovery room or hallway.
Medical staff will likely help you to walk around as soon as your anesthesia wears off, or within 2 to 4 hours after surgery. Walking after surgery is essential, as it stimulates the bowels and prevents blood clots.
