Pain On Left Side.. What Could It Be?

I don't know of I'm just sore or what but I have this pain on my left side. I'm 7 weeks post op so I wouldn't think it's still my muscle soreness but who knows. It comes and goes... When I wake up in the morning it's not there, then I go to work and about a half hour or so it comes back. It's not so bad that I can't stand it but it's uncomfortable especially working all day :( anyone else have this? If it doesn't go away on a few days I'm definitely calling my doctor!

I still had aches and pains when I was 7 wks. post op. It could be gas plus it takes really long time to heal, your doctor did major re-wiring so to speak and 7 wks post op is no way near being healed. I would call your doctor just to be on the safe side. I would get sharp pains on my left side where it felt like someone was stabing me with a knife.

Good to know! It's just crazy cuz sometimes I have no pain and other times it's super sore. Thank you for your answer! I'll probay call my doctor after work just to be on the safe side

It is always good to put your mind at ease by calling your doctor. You are going to feel all kinds of strange things but it does let up after a while when the healing is well on its way. I am 5 months post op and had gall bladder surgery 10 wks after my RNY and I just started feeling good about a month ago !!! Don't ever hesitate to call your doctor that is what you pay him for - he works for YOU !!!! My doctor has a nurse practitioner that screens his calls and she has helped me with my calls and if it is serious enough they will let me speak to my doctor.
