Is it common to have an air bubble in stomach after BA?

Diannnna
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?
