Last night I started getting this unbelievable pain on my left side (not the shoulder pain), but a piercing pain on the side midway between my waste and chest. Anyone else experience this? I had my follow up with my dr yesterday and put aside my fears on all other pain as normal post op, but this happened hours after my appt. any help anyone could lend would be greatly appreciated!!

I would vote for a gas pain. I had these several times after my surgery. And 18 months later I still get them sometimes if I had eaten a little to much.

Could be gas, could be nerve pain. After surgery nerves have to heal too. I 'm one that has nerve pain, it even lets me know when to stop eating and its very painful.

I'm told in time it could heal, but in some it is what it is.

I'd call your office back and ask them, just to give you peace of mind. They make the big money, make them earn every cent.lol

Omg I had the same pain the other day and it hurt soooo bad for like 20 mins until I took a pain pill and paced my street then layed on a heating pad! It was horrible i was going to go to the ER it hurt soooo bad!!!!Same place as your! I'm 7 days post op!
