I am 4 weeks out today and I wake up almost every more with left upper stomach to side pain just under my rib cage?! It goes away within 1-2 hours. I cant tell if it is stomach cramping. I even thought maybe a kidney stone except the pain goes away. Any one else experience this?

I have had no real problems since my surgery.

I have pain on my left side... feels like really intense runners cramps... I phone Dr this morning and he said it's because my stomach has changed shape and the muscles are spasming but that it is my stomach settling into a new position. It was excrutiating today, I could barely stand up this morning. I had to finally take a couple Tylenol. I am on day 5 after surgery. Original surgery was Dec 14th, but they had to go back in and redo the sutures on Dec 17th. My hips are also very sore and have bruising around my entire top of my thigh. My incisions are also bruised. I have never had any type of surgery or ever been in a hospital so it's all pretty scary and overwhelming for me.... I have nothing to compare it to. I hope I'm doing well !!!

I also can't take a deep breath or it hurts, and I cant bend over to put my shoes or socks on anymore, it feels like my incision is going to explode. UGH !! Anyone else have/had all these symptoms ?

Well I have to say I am 20 days out now and those pains are gone. Once in a while if I lay wrong or something I might get a little pain but for the most part it's all good:) how many days out are you guys now? Are your pains gone?
