Cannot pass gas

mbmpa posted:
My husband HAD rectal cancer, had the resection, etc. Now, he is scheduled to get the bag. The problem is, now before surgery, the last 2 months he has not been able to pass gas. There is no blockage, they put a stint in whats left of his rectum, and he still can pass gas. He was hospitalized, and the only way to get is stomach down, (he looks 9 months pregnant), was to do a colonoscopy. Has anyone else had this problem??
