Going on Day 4 of takedown - feeling horrible

Hi. I had my takedown 12/1/14. I am on day 4 recovery & still experiencing severe abdominal pain, nausea, & vomitting. For the first 2 days I was allowed ice chops & I seemed to tolerate them pretty well but my surgeon took them away afraid they would contribute to nausea. Since then, the nausea has actually increased. Last night they did an X-ray to see if I have an ileus. Results are not in yet. My surgeon keeps telling me he thinks the gas will pass naturally out of my rectum. It's been 4 days & my abdominal distention remains the same-& all that has come out of my rectum is mucus. I do have a pain pump but I am using it very little. I am relying on IV Tylenol. Should I be feeling this sick 4 days post op? I don't know how my surgeon can think the gas will migrate out my rectum if it hasn't already- despite the fact that I have been walking 3 times a day, sitting up, etc. I am miserable....
