Pain on my left side...

I have this pain on my left side right below my ribs. There is not an insition there. I only have 2 insistions, one at my belly button and one right below my breast bone. I just assumed that my port was near my belly button, which is where I thougth that is where the doctor had told me it would be. It is the kind of pain you get when you've walked and didnt stretch proberly. that almost like a muscle cramp type pain. I am 6 days post op and feeling pretty good other than this pain. I have a follow up apt on Wednesday morning.

It is a gas pain from the air/medicine that it pumped into your body during surgery. I have the same thing :/

I am more than 3 weeks post op and I still occasionally get that pain when I overdo it.

Yup, that's gas pain alright! Not much you can do about it, it will eventually work its way out. Do a little walking, and if you can lay down on your left side to help it pass through.

since you just had your surgery, i'd say it's gas pain too. however, just be aware...i have had horrible pain in the area you're talking about. it occurs when i eat too much. if it doesn't stop in the next few weeks, make sure you're sticking to the amount of food recommended.

that's also a symptom of dehydration - are you drinking enough water??

I get that same pain when I eat too much. It feels like a "side stitch" kind of cramp.
