I was wondering if anyone else dealt with a burning, pulling pain either in the rib area or lower left abdominal area post op of surgery. The pulling started at 1 week post op. It comes and goes and I feel it most if I do too much. Feel great other than that, so not sure if it's just healing pain or something else going on. Curious if anyone has dealt with the same thing.

Thank you.

Do you mind updating me on the findings? I can't get into the Dr. For awhile. I'm beyond curious.

My doc says it's from over doing it.. slow down if it happens,when you eat, smaller bites chew better. If when drinks, smaller sips spaced out

Friday activity slow down! Gentle stretching smaller walks and rest

Thank you for creating this thread. I had my gastric sleeve done on 09.15 and sometimes I feel like a pain in my lower left ab. I think it's because I am overdoing it (i have been walking a lot, and I went back to work last week), or having an extra teaspoon of food. Other than that I do feel great.

Oops sorry I just realized this is the gastric bypass forum! I am on my cellphone so it's confusing sometimes. Sorry!

I had the exact same thing. It started one week post op. The dr told me I was over doing it and to slow down and take deep breaths.

How long did it last for you? I'm 17 days post open and It's still going on.

It started about day 8 and lasted through day 15 or 16. I am 3 weeks post op now and it's gone.

I felt that same pain in my rib area, expecially if I tried to eat to much. I had quite a bit of pain before my drain tube came out, it got better afterwards though.

Yes, my doc said it was spasms where the new pouch and intestines attach for the lower pain & a kind of heartburn type pain from the new suture line on the pouch for the upper one. Now on Pantoprazole (like Nexium or Prilosec) and liquid Carafate (prescription only) that coats everything to protect from acid.

I asked my doc in reference to my left side hurting. He mentioned the stomach was in the left and even though my surgery was robotic that the left hand side is were they work the most.
