So our teen just had ileostomy reversal five days ago. Her bowels moved some 24 hours after surgery and she passed some gas, but at the three day postop mark she experienced frequent vomiting and nausea. She is feeling much better today - very little pain and no vomiting. The surgeons ordered her off all fluids two days ago due to the vomiting. She is feeling well enough to walk lots on the hospital floor but hasn't passed any gas for 3 days. Have any of you experienced anything similar postop? How long did it take to consistently pass gas? She is just on iv fluids now.
