Has anyone here suffered an incisional hernia post surgery? Apparently they can occur after surgery where the lining is already compromised. I have been having severe pain in my left side and this is the only thing I can come up with. My surgeon, based on info via phone call, said he has no idea what it could be. I am having a ct tomorrow morning. Just wanted to see if anyone here had experience with this.

I had pain on my left side after surgery that kept getting worse. Turned out that my gall bladder was completely obstructed which caused pancreatitis. I never felt pain on the right (where the gall bladder is located) but the symptoms of pancreatitis can be pain on the left shoulder blade or under left rib cage. I had my gall bladder taken out and I feel sooooo much better!! Dropping weight fast is what causes the sludge in your gall bladder, they will be able to see it on the CT scan. Good luck and hope you feel better!

I actually had my gallbladder removed when I had the sleeve done.

Oh ok. Than I'm at a loss =( when I went to the e.r no one could figure out what would be hurting on the left side. They just kept asking if I thought it could be gas pains. Good luck again!

I had very bad pains in my side and stomach. Last week. I could barely walk. I went 2 the Er last Saturday. After the test the doc told me my liver was enlarged and my gallbladder was the cause of the pain. I was taking back to the hospital where I had my surgery. I was also dehydrated. My surgeon told me it was my pancreas. I just got out the hospital Sat. I thank God I was given antibiotics. They thought I needed surgery. I was inflamed inside. I was having and still have a little trouble drinking. My surgeon said if I didn't get enough Water and Protein a feeding tube would be the next step. My cycle is causing me to have a slow recovery. Im in so much pain. Im going to Gyn Wednesday for relief.

The gallbladder pain is no joke.

Sorry for the grammatical errors. Im on pain meds.

Ct showed nothing. Drs best guess is the tight stitch they put in the largest incision where the stomach is pulled out of pulling on something.
