I keep getting a cramp on my left side. It starts near my bra line and goes down my side to my gut. It feels possibly intestinal?

Has anyone had this type of pain? It has happened while eating but also while not eating. It's so bad that I have to stop walking and wait for it to end. Thankfully it only lasts for a moment and then I'm perfectly fine again.

I was told after my surgery that this was completely normal and to expect it. It is an incision on the inside on the left that is hurting. Ask your surgeon to be sure but I was glad they told me in advance so I didn't worry about it.

Mine lasted about 4 weeks.

Mine lasted about 2.5 weeks.

Thanks everyone! Mine has gotten better, it doesn't happen as often and I'm currently only 8 days post.

One of your lap-incisions on the left side is where the large piece of excised stomach was pulled out from.

This is why one incision on the left side is so much more tender.
