Left Upper Quadrant Discomfort



Recommended Posts

I am six months out and two days ago started having some discomfort in my left upper quadrant, right under my ribs. Felt a litttle like side stitches when you run. Then today I leaned over and it hurt and felt like something rolled. Could it be gas or adhesions? I have had other surgery so they are a possibility. Dr

Office said I was too far out for it to be from my surgery. Any ideas?

I've always experienced a sharp pain in that same location since surgery, and sometimes I feel like what you said "something rolls." it's like a little trapped gas bubble, because after the roll, i burp a little then I feel better. Sometimes it takes a few days to get it out. it's really weird. I don't know if that is what you are having, but it's possible.

It is trapped gas. Try moving around. Sometimes burping helps.

Can you get trapped gas in your lower right back area too? Sometimes after I eat (especially now since I'm on soft foods) I hiccup a lot then my lower right side hurts and I think it could be gas. I just need reassurance it's not a kidney infection.

Do you still have your gallbladder? Lower right sounds like gallbladder, and the pain tends to permeate upwards, around, and to the back.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
