gas pains after lap band surgery

Can anyone give me any kind of tips on getting rid of this horrible gas pain. It is 5 days after surgery and everything is fine, no nausea, no pain from the surgery, but the gas pain is seriously impeding my recovery. It started straight after I came too from the surgery in the form of having a hard time taking a breath and day by day has moved up my body. It is now in my throat and feels like a giant air bubble. When it comes on my head feels like its crushing and it feels like someone is choking me. It's incredibly painful. I have tried Milanta, nothing helps. The doctor keeps telling me it will pass and to move around (I AM) but still it is there. Please, if anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I need to get back on my feet, I am a single parent and cant be like this.

I had this also after my gastric sleeve earlier this month...under my collor bones for about 2 weeks. All that helped was a hot pack on the area. Maybe try that if you havent already! good luck, and it does get better!
