I had gas pains and took gas-x tabs that go on your tongue which helped. They went away after the 3rd day other then that no pain. It's best to go to hospital if in pain or call Drs office see what they recommend.


I am experiencing a very shap pain in the lower left side of my stomach. Does anyone have any experience with this at all?

I had the same. That is the area that has the most trauma during surgery. It takes a little while longer to heal than other sites. Hang in there.

Yep they just keep telling me to take pain killers ... apparently some people heal over on that side slower than others

Yaaay !! Can we be buddies? [emoji8]
On day 6 or 7 after surgery you won't feel much pain hang in there! do you feel pain on your lower left side stomach when you walk a bit too much? I asked my surgeon and he said you shouldn't move about too much in the first week..

Yes we can!! [emoji16]

It's just the tightness and the fact I can't stand up completely straight yet because it is so tight. But yeah the lower left side probably hurts the worst.

It's so weird cause my surgeon and everyone is telling me to walk as much as possible. Everyone says different things.


Oh yes walk but i suggest not until you're in the second week [emoji28]
How are you coping with the all liquid diet -.- alot of fun right!

I am 8 weeks post surgery (March 1/17) and now on solid food -the first two weeks were a breeze but i developed a pain near my sternum followed by trouble breathing and extreme fatigue..it turned out to be an ulcer which landed me in the hospital for 5 days.. if you are concerned about pain and it doesnt go away after taking something stronger than tylonol, there could be any number of issues. Passing it off might make things worse--make sure you get your surgeon's opinion or go to emergency


Hope you're doing better now Justagirl45.

I'm with you too. I've got an occasional sharp pain in the same place. And pain/uncomfortableness when I try to lay on my side. Had my surgery 4/21


Mine is on the lower right side. There's no pain anywhere on the left. I just feel really bloated and all that jazz. I Had my surgery 4/26
