severe gas pains after lap in abd

I am one week post lap rny and doing well except for horrible gas pain over left abd area which does respond to walking and activity, but how long does it take for the gas they put in you during surgery to dissipate?...I am having no fever or redness over left abd area and have had no nausea at all ......I do however have a T Tube under my left breast area which is supposed to keep pressure off the suture sites for 2 weeks..if anyone has had this same symptom I would appreciate your input..thanks

Hi Brenda... I didnt have LAP, but from everything Ive read, it can take some time...they really put alot in there. I know almost everyone who has LAP has a time with the gas...hang in there!!!!
