I had awful wind about 36 hours after my op, it's not nice is it! I hadn't had a bowel movement before I left hospital but the doctor listened to my growling stomach with her stethoscope and said because it was making all the right noises I could go home anyway!! I asked if I could be prescribed lactulose to take home with me, which they did do and that did the trick after a couple of doses!
I hope you soon get home. Sleeping in your own bed is bliss
