Discomfort

I'm 3 weeks post op. Sometimes I feel some mild pain or discomfort in my stomach. I duno how to describe the feeling , but it just feels weird. Some other times I feel very mild pain in my left shoulder. Im not sure if Im Just worrying too much about it or is it normal at this stage? I've heard of ppl having gastric leaks and I'm just getting paranoid about it.

This sounds like gas pain to me. You should call your dr tomorrow to be sure.

My stomach gave me problems for over 6 months before it settled down. About the only food that didn't cause pains, bubbles or cramps was refried Beans and finely ground turkey hamburger. Plain Water was one of the hardest things on my stomach.

The pain in your shoulder is probably left over gas. I don't remember exactly how long I felt shoulder pain, but it did come and go for weeks post-op.

But the safest thing to do is call your doc, he's in the best position to give you advice.

I just started having side pain on my right side where I did not have it before. Im 3 weeks out and thought I should be feeling better not worse. Its so stange
