Left Side Pain

[sandipq 8]

I will be 2 weeks post op tomorrow and still on a liquid diet. I have been feeling fine.... Some tenderness but nothing that would hold me back. I was busy most of the day yesterday but felt okay last night. Today though I have a bad pain in my left side. If feels like when you walk/run too long or too fast and you get a stitch in your side. It has really bothered me all day today but not at all before today. Has anyone else had this?

I did. Mine was an inch to the left of my belly button and about an inch or so up. My doc said it was muscular. Sometimes it made me gasp. Hope you get to feeling better!

Had my surgery on 8/9/12. Having a lot of pain on my left side today. I'm really hoping its gas.

I have had the same issue. The pain was really bad after surgery and now it has its good and bad days. The doctor told me this is from the mesh that was used to repair the muscle. That apparently is the side they did a lot of work. For me it was a liver biopsy, port site and band removal and stomach removal. It does get better with time and on the days it bothers me I take some liquid tylenol and I am good to go.

I'm almost 3 weeks out and I have the same pain on the lower left side of my abdomen. NP says it's muscular, but the pain has gotten worse over the last few days to the point where I can't stand for more than a few hours at work. This morning I'm holding my side while walking around the house. I haven't done anything more than walk as far as exercise goes. Should I be more concerned?
