A member asked:
I'm having trapped gas pain on my right side. i have been passing gas & belching. i just had a laparascopic appendectomy 19 days ago. is this normal?

Yes: With laparoscopic appendectomy there is alway a certain amount of inflammation in the region of the cecum and adjacent rt. colon. There can also be a minimal degree of ileus or lack of peristalsis in the bowel causing gas accumulation and retrograde motion of gas or belching. One should wait several wks for resolution.
