Is the pain around the incision site? It's common for there to be pain in that site because they use it more to move the liver out of the way to reach the stomach and per my surgeon, they use that site for the stapling inside as well. It's used quite a bit and there is a lot of bruising in that area. That combined with the gas can make it tought.

It could be gas then but, the best bet would be to call your surgeon and let him/her know. I had to do that myself and found out I had an infection in my left side incision site. Not saying you have an infection but, what I'm saying it's it's always best to call your doc and give them a heads up. They'll have a better idea what it is that is causing you discomfort/pain. Good luck!
