Asked By:zzsharonzz in Ontario, CA

I'm 2 days post op and have had an air pocket just under ribcage right in the middle I can push and move it it will feel like its popping and moving and even makes the noises. It also hurts I called ps office and they say as long as I have drains in not to worry about it. I also didn't get a compression garment because ps doesn't believe in them :/ so I just have gauze firmly in place and air pocket is on top
