Left Upper Abdominal pain

I am 3 months out and all day today I am having sharp, stabbing pain in my left upper abdominal area under my ribs. It is quite painful and has me worried. Has anyone else had anything like this? Has anyone ever developed a leak this far out?

Leaks aren't common that far out but not unheard of. Your stomach is located in the area you describe, are you having an other symptoms? Is it soon after meals or after you take medications? Ulcers can cause stabbing pains (I speak from experience). Is it when you move a certain way...it's a little late for it, but could be adhesions. It could be several things, but if it persists, you should really consult your surgeon or go to the ER. I hope it goes away and that you feel better soon. Best of luck.

I am two months out and having the Same Pain

I was having that same pain, went to the E.R and my gall bladder was completely obstructed and had to be removed. The gall bladder being obstructed can cause pancreatitis and that is what was actually causing the pain on the left. I was told it happens when you lose weight quickly. I had to stay in the hospital until my gall bladder surgery. Good luck!

I'm having the same pain and I'm 13 days out. I had my gallbladder removed though so I know its not related. I also cannot eat anything. It just hurts even drinking water. I think I will call my surgeon tomorrow.

I have been plagued with that same pain. Today seems ok for the first time so far. Good luck birthygirl.
