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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
