The pain could be gas pains from your surgery, but if you are having trouble breathing, I would call your Doctor IMMEDIATELY.

That really does sound like gas pain...get your water and walk walk walk and take your gas x. It should go away within a day or so. If you can't breath...get to an er

wondering how you are doing today? Are you still having trouble?

I had my surgery on 1-21-11 and I am feeling the same way. Deep breaths hurt, mostly on the left upper side. I also feel as if I need to burp and no matter what I never do. I have not taken any medication. I am just hoping it goes away in the next couple of days.
