I am truly hoping someone can can help me with this. I am 1110 days post op and 2 days after surgery I had TERRIBLE searing pain under my left rib cage and I STILL have it to this day. I was re admitted to the hospital for 3 days and they could find nothing physically wrong. It's no where near my incisions, it doesn't go away with moving or walking. It just hurts SUPER bad, They have me at home on 6mg dilaudid (crushed) a day. WEll, thats fine but it doesnt explain why this happened or if it is ever going to subside. Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them after surgery??? I was told it could be a torn muscle from surgery or from trying to pull myself up I did something. IDK, but would appreciate any advice!!! Thanks!!!!

Wait... How many days post op are you?

Your port might have flipped. Did they check? It hurts when the port unattaches from your body sometimes. It happened to me and the pain went away.

I had the same problem about a month and a half post op. I was terrified, because of course first thought was something was wrong with my band. Are you having regular bowel movements? I ended upnbeing constipated, which made my port stick out, thus irritating my abdomen and causing the pain. Did a couple days of laxatives, and it hasn't happened since. Hope this helps?

This helped me because I haven't pooped since my preop laxative. Which was 8 days ago. I will try to get my bowels moving.
