I had a mastectomy with 4 lymph nodes (sentinel) removed on Thursday. Had implant and breast reduction of healthy boob at same time. Obviously prepared for constipation due to codeine based pain relief which is being managed with Laxitol. But OMG the wind! I’m sleeping wedged up and believe I’m mouth breathing (hubby says) I wake up with horrendous upper abdominal pain until I can ‘pass wind’ which I do at a frequent rate 
. I am assuming this is a post surgery thing that will pass or may be due to ‘swallowing air’ due to sleeping upright? - is this normal? Bowels moving ok now (a bit loose) and with the exception of pain relief all I’m taking is antibiotic's. Hopefully it will stop soon so I can return to polite society 
.
I might have overdone the Laxido….constipation no longer problem….but now I do worry when passing wind
