Trapped Wind In Upper Abdomen After Having Anterior Repair, Lots Of Belching. What To Do?

I had an anterior repair on Tuesday and since waking up I have had trapped wind in my upper abdomen, I think I might be constipated and am trying to address this but basically I need to rest but find the only relief I get is walking around the house. Lying down the pain settles under my left shoulder blade or under my bust generally, I burpe/belch a lot.
years ago I was diagnosed with a sliding hiatus hernia but have not had any trouble with this recently. What can I do please.
using peppermint and camomile tea and also gastrocote tablets?

Hi,

If you are not on any antacid, do take an antacid course for 15 days. better would be with Pantoprazole and also do take an carminative like Magnesium trisilicate.
