You should schedule a followup with the doctor. It sounds like you could have a hernia coming through your naval; this can happen with laproscopic surgery that cuts through the muscle there. Can be extremely painful and cause your bowels to stop moving (hence the gassiness)

My wife had the same problem you have to keep walking often during surgery the doctor puts a gas in the area to keep organs apart so the DR. can remove the bladder your body has to ex spell the gas
