Hmmmmm, five days huh..... And thats all you've noticed ?? Relax....probably just gas. Or could be a "full" trigger. Or you bod just letting you know it's pissed off you did all that trama to it...... You're gonna notice alot of different noises, aches, various pains etc. for awhile as you heal and adjust. Unless it persists or gets worse, just give it time and it will probably pass.

@@Recycled ive noticed a lot but I was fighting a infection from my iv so that co2 gas pain went away fairly quickly the diarrhea and constipation. Went through all that too but I just never had such a direct pain shoot frok my stomach to shoulder blade. I am so uncomfortable I cant lay down sit certain ways take deep breathes. Im terrified I caused a leak waiting on doc call now

@@Recycled waiting on doc call now

Good call. Try to relax and not worry too much. It's always advised to contact your doc when you need definitive answers. The fist few days always works on the nerves a little. Here's hoping it's nothing to be concerned about.

Please call your doctor's office. If it's nothing, they'll let you know that. If it's something, they'll tell you what to do about it. Follow-up care and advice is part of the service they provide. Good luck!

My surgeon said that the pain under you shoulder blade is the gas. He said it feels horrid and you cannot massage it out.

For this you must walk it out. I have a feeling you just moved a certain way and some of the operation gas. moved too.

Good to check with your doctor, but walk walk walk to see if it subsides.

Thanks it wasn't a leak it was in fact gas but also a uti infection all at once

So after all the trips to er and all the stick to my feelings. I ended up discovering a leak.....now I have to be fed via tube directly to body so my stomach leak can repair. Its so small that can't go back in and find it.

Omg very sorry to hear this. I hope you feel & get well soon. Hang in there.

=(

So sorry about your complication. I hope it resolves quickly so that you start feeling better soon. You were really smart to trust your feelings and seek medical care.
