A member asked:

Flew 7 weeks after nissen fundo. developed bad trapped gas on plane, which persists 4 days later. when will it stop? will i suffer each time i fly?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Persistent pain: Gas pain shouldn't be lasting for 4 days straight. Especially with your relatively recent surgery, you should probably have an examination. I'd be asking if this were really gas or something else we should be more concerned about. Be sure to get it checked out!
