I had my breast aug 5 days ago and for a few days now, while sitting/laying reclined, I feel this annoying air bubble on the left side of my stomach, under my ribs! I know it's common to have air bubbles in your breasts after surgery but that is not where I'm feeling the discomfort. I also feel gurgling or something on that same spot. Should I be worried?

The lines you have noticed are referred to as Mondor's cords and are the result of clots in the superficial vessels beneath your breast. They are temporary in nature and should resolve without any long term consequences. Speak to your surgeon for any suggestions concerning treatment.
Your breasts may continue to grow, however losing so much weight may unfortunately has had a negative effect on their shape and size. Sagging tends to get worse with age and further weight fluctuations. Keep in mind that if your breasts do get bigger, they may get saggier as well.
