Yes for sure, in fact many find it helps soothe the gas pain.

Nooooo. Not on your tummy. The gas pain is not in your tummy, its in your left shoulder blade. You can use heat there but not where your stiches are. A lot of people get confused on that. Cool on stiches, warmth on shoulder blade. Ask your doc, they will confirm this.
