    A week and a day out, and I haven't had any rib pain in a couple of days. I'm hoping it's gone for good. Thanks for all the good info

  3. Pain in left side rib cage

    It is somewhere near the port area. I don't know exactly where my port is because I haven't had my first post-op Dr visit yet, and I was too loopy to ask after the surgery. I hope I won't have this pain the rest of my life though. Even if it takes a while, I'd like to know the pain isn't permanent.

  6. Pain in left side rib cage

    alstreck posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
    After surgery, June 6th, I had excruciating pain on my left side in the rib area. Since surgery the pain has gotten better, but is still very much there. To the point it hurts to sleep on my left side. To clarify, it's not my left side that hurts, but my ribs on the left side. Is this normal?
