    I really think you should get back in touch with the hospitalabout this!  I know you said they didn't want to know last time but you should not be getting wid from your lady bits and any other gases from the surgery should have been discharged one way or another by now.

    I don't want to worry you but I had a similar thing happen after my hysterectomy and it turned out that I had a fistula as a result of the surgery.  I'm not saying that this is what you have but best be safe

    I have had some wind, but not to the degree that you are experiencing. I have been using an abdominoal binder, I wonder if that helps press it out.
