: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!

yes i know about that... I did take anatomy... Lol... But thank you anyway:guess

I have thought about all those things, but it is a sharp, stabbing pain that lasts two-three days and is worse pain then both my c-sections and my band surgery! I don't know for sure, but it seems like there is something wrong. I get better for a few days then it comes again. The only thing I can do is take 2 Vicodin and go to sleep! :tired It has been going on for the past 5 weeks, I am getting so tired of it. Hopefully it will just go away soon! Thank you for all of your imput, I have found it very valuable! :clap2:

Sorry, I counted and it has only been 4 weeks, not 5!!! LOL! :eek:

I am totally new to all of this. What brought me to this site is the pain on my left side too. My port is under my left breast. For two to three weeks after my surgery, there was definately port pain whenever I moved or twisted, but that has totally healed. What I have had since I was banded the beginning of March is pain on my left side near my ribs. It does feel like a stitch and worsens if I take a deep breath. It is constant. I keep telling myself it will go away and get better and heal, but I am worried. It is great to hear that so many of you have this same pain!
