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.

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.

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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
