Thank you for the advice. I haven't tried the strips but I will mention this to the dr.

I feel very sore where the surgeon repaired my hernia and I have a hard time getting my liquids down, because of the belching and the pain it creates. I feel very full and make myself drink. Yesterday was a bad day, today is a little better. My dr. followup is tomorrow.

Hi everyone, Dr. Barker performed my lap and hernia repair. I have been experiencing a lot of pain in the chest, shoulder area and around the stomach. I have a hard time getting my liquids and liq. med down, I do get it down but the burping makes it hurt worse and I fill full for hours. I tried going to work yesterday and left after 2 hr. due to pain and my abdomen swelling up with gas. I have a scheduled appt tomorrow with dr. barker. hopefully there is nothing wrong.
