How do you feel otherwise? Short of breath? Pressure in chest? tired? nausea? As JenC said, aspirin and doctor. or 911 if you have any of those other symptoms.

It does sound like gas but you need to go to the er to be sure it's not something that's going to kill you! Better safe than sorry!

Go to the ER. Go to the hospital you had your surgery in if possible. But I would go because it could be anything. Just take care of it ASAP!

How many days post op are you? Try to walk, when I was 1 day post op, I swear I was having a heart attack. And the nurses totally blew me off as well for saying that. I suppose everyone assumes its gas. If its not going away, you're not burping or farting, and it's increasing, go to the hospital. Better one false alarm than not doing anything when it really is something.

When I was 3 days post op I had to go back in the hospital for 3 more days! After being put under and having another procedure done,they found out my lower left lobe in my lungs collapsed from being put under and pneumonia had set in! I had a fever and SEVER CHEST PAINS! I'm not trying to scare you, but it's better to go to the hospital and it be heartburn, then stay home with onset of pneumonia!

Please keep us updated, I will say a prayer for you!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
