8 months post op, and new pain



Recommended Posts

Hi all, I'm occasionally experiencing excruciating left side, right below my rib, pain.

This is so bad, I begin to sweat, feel disoriented, and have shortness of breath. I'm shaky and feel drained for hours afterward.

Anyone ever experience anything similar? This has happened 3 times in the last month, and I'm curious.

Do you still have your gallbladder, because it sounds like gallbladder issues. The pain starts in the right side below the rib cage and spreads to the back.

The sharp pain on your left side is unfamiliar to me but the other symptoms happen to me when I'm dumping. Definitely sounds like you should see your doctor or surgeon.

Does this happen While you are eating? 15 minutes after ... an hour after? Is there a certain food that triggers it? Any lactose issues?

Talk to your Dr about doing and endoscopy. I have heard of VSG patients with bougie size 30 having issues with their stomach's twisting, but I don't think that would cause pain, especially on the left side ...

Call your doctor's office ASAP, go through the emergency number if you need to. This may or may not be a sleeve thing and should be addressed right away. Tomorrow is Friday and then we have the weekend, which is not the optimal time to get care. Do it now!

Guess I should find a specialist? Gastro doc, or sleeve surgeon?? I went to Mexico for surgery, so I don't have a doc.

Also, this has happened a total of 3 times over the last month and a half or so. I don't think it's an emergency, but may well hit the er the next time it strikes ...

I've had this happen lately too. Left side pain, under the rib. It has come and gone a few times. At first I thought it was because I was sitting funny, but one day it lasted all day.

I google possible causes - gas or spleen problem came back. I took some Gas-X, although I didn't feel particularly gassy.

Good luck. Keep us updated, I hope you feel better!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
