left side rib pain anyone?



Recommended Posts

Had surgery 11/17/10, I woke up two mornings ago with a dull pain in my left side. Almost feels like something is resting on my rib cage. Anyone else have this after surgery, It went away the next morning and now tonightit is back. Anyone else have this or now why it is happening? I will call the doctor in the AM but was hoping to hear from someone else to make myself feel better.

Unfortunately for me, Gas-Ex didn't work. It took over two week for the pain to go away completely, but in lessened along the way.

Good luck!

Gas as stated and insides are all swollen. Went away after about 2 or 3 wks. And you have walk to bring gas down. Basics walking around the house

You should call your doctor office for an appointment to get it checked out it could be pain from internal healing or something serious developing. It's been less than two weeks so you probably need a follow up

Good luck

I don't feel a tear pain it's just a dull ache on my ribs, is not always there mostly by the end of the day.

Took your advice and went to see the doc today. I have to go for an upper GI Thursday---The waiting my kill me. The pain is not bad just a dull ache. He did not seem to worried that it was band related but wanted to double check. He thought it might be imflamation on my rib for some reason weird.

I was banded on 10/1/2010 and just this past week I started feeling dull pain near my left ribs. It's not so intense yet that I need to call the dr. but I am going to mention it on Tuesday when I go for a fill. Sometimes I think it's because of the fact that I sit all day in a chair and rarely get to move around at my job.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
