Question:
Help! I woke up with a buring in my upper back

and it has moved into my stomach. I took 2 Pepcid Ac's, and it helped but I still feel awful. What is this? Does this happen to anyone else? I am 10 weeks out and have never dumped. I ate some cheese last night maybe this upset my stomach? Too much fat??? Any suggestions? Tracey    — Tracey L. (posted on July 11, 2002)

Sounds kinda like gas to me, but I can't guarantee it. I have had similar symptoms even before the surgery (6/18/02). If it persists beyond a few hours, you should really call your surgeon. It probably isn't anything major. If it is simply gas, my sister swears by Simethicone drops. Good Luck.
