The most uncomfortable thing for me is this odd feeling like my stomach is growling in my chest!!! Does it mean I'm hungry?! And will my stomach always be growling in my chest from now on when I'm hungry lol. It hurts!!! It lasts a few minutes at a time just like if my stomach were growling and feels exactly the same except extremely uncomfortable! !!! Anyone else experience this?!

Yes! I am 6 days post op and just experienced this yesterday. Very weird. I also have a lot of left side discomfort (not enough to take the Vicodin, but enough to walk slowly).

I am 6 days post op as well. The left side pain finally ended today actually but the chest growling needs to go too lol. I have to take real deep breaths and at night use the heating pad. Have u found anything that helps it? ?

Honestly, I just drink water and they growling goes away. I'm told that hunger is a good sign as it means good healing, but not so great because we can't eat yet. Lol
