Hi all! My doc appt went well this morning. He says I'm progressing fine. I've lost 7 pounds. He released me to go back to work on Monday. I can start a soft food diet on Sunday. I have to learn to monitor my intake and take it slowly.

There's one question I forgot to ask I'm hoping I can get an opinion here. I keep getting annoying achy pain under my left rib cage. Is this a normal place for gas deposit? It seems to be more prevelent after I drink some shake.

If it's on your left side, that's port pain. It will get better. Keep in mind you are still healing. I'm 3 months 11 days out and I still get the pain once and awhile. It's normal. It could be gas too. Nothing to worry about really.

Try some gasX strips!! I agree it could be port pain!!!

Doc said my port is above my belly button. I did get some Gax X strips and I like 'em! I think it's gas too. After taking a strip and walking around for a while it began to subside.

Thanks!
