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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
