:help: Hi! I have been having severe pain on my right side ever since my surgery. My scars are all on my left side so I don't think the surgery caused it. I have had numerous tests done with my regular doctor and they have ruled out kidney stones, and appendix. (said it was too high for that) I don't have my gall bladder, it was removed in 1991. The pain is a sharp stabbing pain located right under my rib cage on the left side. Has anyone else experienced this? I have been on vicodin every 4 hours round the clock. I have had no other pain at all regarding my surgery so I don't have any idea what is going on??? :omg:Any help would be great!

I understand that no one could diagnosis it, I wasn't asking for that. I was asking if anyone else has had this happen since their surgery, or if it is totally unrelated, which it very well could be. I wasn't really asking for someone to diagnosis me on what I have, but thanks for your response anyways.:)

Hi Missy,

I've been having the exact same pain. I had my surgery about 2 months ago, and just in the last couple of days, I've been having a sharp pain on my left side (my port is on my right side) just below my ribcage. I've also been having a lot of pain in my left shoulder. It seems to be come on after I eat. I haven't called my doc. yet, but I, too, am wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Weird!

Alex10, I'm not a Dr. but that sounds either like your gallbladder or you may have Acid Reflux. Missy, I am 5 weeks post op today and to be honest I've had all kinds of funny feelings here and there on the left and right side and even my bottom . They come and go and my doctor said yesterday that is normal healing sensations.

My port is under my ribcage so I am still really sore especially when I get a fill. Your body generally takes 6months to a year to recover from a surgery. And everyone heals differently.

Your port is on your right side??? I have never heard of that! Mine is on my left side and the pain I am having is on my right. I thought it was kidney stones. I have had those in the past and it felt exacly the same. I went to my Doc and she ran a CAT scan as well as a few more tests. All came back fine, they said I was normal. I had my gall bladder out years ago, so I can rule that out.

I haven't had much port pain at all but the pain on my right side has been much more uncomfortable than my left by far! It has started getting better, but still feel it when I move at times. Hopefully will go away once other things start healing in there! :confused:

I'm wondering if you could be having gas pains. Gas does weird things, and I know I experienced something similar to what you are describing.

Just a thought.

OK, now I'm surprised. Is that true, everyone? Is the port always on the left side? Mine is definitely on my right side and the pain I feel is on my left side.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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!!
