So. I'm a month post op on 3/22. This weekend (Friday night), I ended up in the ER for dehydration and constipation. They did an abdomen X-ray and a CAT scan with contrast. They said no leaks and that with the MOM and Miralax my doctor had me taking, and the fluids they gave me, I should go to the bathroom. Sure enough, I've been able to go so that's great.

This morning, I woke up with sharp pains on my left side, kinda under my rib cage. They radiate up, so almost like they're moving under my boob. And sometimes, along my lower belly. They've been persistent since 6am - it's almost noon now. Haven't eaten yet today.

Any insights? I really, really do not want to go back to the ER. [emoji85]

No insight but got to you pcp or wl center!!! Do you have a nurseline?

Did they check for gallstones? Go to your dr asap

May be your gall bladder.

Wouldn't they have found something wrong with my gallbladder when I was in the ER and they ran all kinds of tests?

I'm not sure, but I keep hearing that gallstones are very common with rapid weight loss rather surgery or not. I think your symptoms could be that but keep us updated

I had that pain as well but mine passed. I took it as an air pocket. I notice it when I chew gum.
