I'm not sure which side your pain is on but...I had my RNY in 2013. I had a terrible pain on my left side. I thought that I had hurt myself because of getting out of bed different. But I finally called my Surgeon and I was told that they put the instruments thru the opening on your left side. They have had people come into the office to get a shot. Because the nerves are waking up again. If you are having hard pain you might just call your Dr. to be safe. Sorry you are hurting.

I'm 3 weeks post and having the same. Actually the pain under my ribs has gotten much better the last couple of days, but the back pain is still there. I was worried because it's right where my left kidney is I think. Had a follow-up visit with P.A. couple days ago who seemed to think it was nothing to worry about. He said if I started experiencing urinary symptoms to see my pcp. I felt a little like it was blown off, but I'm going to give it more time. It's a sharp stabbing pain pretty much only when I move a certain way or sneeze or something. It stabs when I inhale deeply.

Me too!! I'm 3 weeks out. It's starting so bad to get worse I'm afraid I have kidney stones or kidney problems. My back is awful stabbing pain and that left incision area is awful. Always think it's a clot or something in my rib.

My incissions are healed. I really didn't have gas pain much. I think that may have been it. Still tender but not sore.

I had this same pain started out with rib pain and back but then nausea and my insides feeling like they were being wripped. This was 2 weeks out had to go to er and after checking for leaks found out the new popsicles I got outburst no sugar added. Well it has sorbitol as an ingredient which is known to cause stomach and intestinal issues. Which was intensified just having surgery. So check anything you are eating for that may need to not eat that. I know I learned my lesson!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
