Cramping after surgery

I am 16 days post-op. My ovary, fallopian tube, and omentum were removed. They stopped there because the gyno/onco found it was a muconious cancer (PMP), and not ovarian. Anyhow, my question is, is it normal to have very bad cramping still. It does appear to be gas. It does seem relieved from passing it, but it can build up for hours or overnight until I get relief. How long can this last for? Thanks!

    If it was me I would check with the surgeon's office...
    see what they think. I've had several abdominal surgeries and I've certainly been uncomfortable still after two weeks, but not really in much pain. If the pain falls into the category of "very bad", it's time to get a professional opinion. Hope it improves soon-Ann
