For the second time in 3 weeks I was awaken with pain on my left side under my ribs and radiating to my back. Only on my left side. I know gallbladder is on right side I feel like it is acid. It since I’ve never had acid I’m not sure. I’m only comfortable sitting up when this has happened. I’m 7 months post op and Down 125 so if anyone has any advice or have experience in this.

First what is your temperature, if it is above 100 then you need to go to the hospital.

It sounds like acid reflux, but you need to call your Doctor do not try to self-medicate or play Doctor.

No no fever I took some acid medicine the dr prescribed after surgery. Got a call into the surgeon to see

I have been in hospital 12 days , dont mess about asking advice on here . like i did , if its something not usual for you just call your dr even if its nothing . 7 months in and this just started? yes this is something that should be dealt with soon as.

You'll want to describe it to your doc. I don't think it sounds like acid in that location. Mostly it's bowels and spleen over there. Any problems with constipation?

It does sound like bowels. I agree.
