Roumbling all around my stomach.  The first two days, nothing.  Now it doesn't stop.  Sometimes it finds it's way out, but not enough.  It's not really painful, but definitely uncomfortable.  And I can't blow my nose because it hurts the stomach too much and I'm afraid of pulling out the stitches...

The pain does get less!
Hold a pillow to your tummy if you can.

There is a great homeopathic remedy that I used after my gallbladder and VSG surgeries.  No gas problems at all.

It's called Carbo Vegetabilis.  You can put a few of the little balls under your tongue, or you can also put several little balls in your water bottle so that you're getting a more consistent supply of it.  I think it's a great product.  The homeopathic pharmacy person turned me on to it.

I think it was from the anesthesia from surgery.  I had it both times, would even wake me up at night cramping from it.  Didn't have a BM until day 4, was taking stool softeners all the time.  It would help me to walk around until the gas passed.  Even in the middle of the night, I'd have to get up w/my walker & move.  & DON'T dare drink anything carbonated!  Good luck, it will pass.
