I'm six weeks post op yesterday! About a week ago, I started having right side back pain in the kidney area. I had a UA and US, both came back negative for stones/infection. The pain is still there, but now it feels more muscular than it did a week ago. 2-3 days ago, I started having some muscle/pulling type stabby pains on the right side of my abdomen. Today, my belly button hurts (which is not abnormal for me ) and my upper abdomen is swollen and hard. It's not terribly painful, but it is uncomfortable. Other than that, I feel fine.

Any ideas? Anyone have similar issues?

I see my surgeon for follow up on Tuesday, but am wondering if anyone else had anything similar.

Have you had a bm recently? I was told if I had distention to call my surgeon. I know you have no other symptoms but can't hurt to call if you're worried about it. Hope you feel better.

I called the on-call surgeon and she said as long as I can drink fluids and there's no vomiting or pain on the left side, it can wait until I see my surgeon for follow up on Tuesday. She did say that if it got painful or I couldn't drink, I should go to my local ER and have them call her.

Glad you called!
