Heya guys

Im 5 weeks post op just gone back to work in an office and im getting an aching under my ribs on the left side about half way through the day. Just wondering if anyone else has had this, ive no sickness or fever or indications of a rip

I also have a pain on my left side right below my breast, it felt like a tugging. It was bearable but still a pain. Mine lasted a few days, maybe 3 days nothing else going on, no nausea, fever, other pains. It did go away. I just figured it was still just part of recovery. I was about 2 weeks post op.

I also had this, I even went to the ER one time because it was really sharp. They ran a bunch of tests. For me, they never got to the bottom of it. It was on my left side, right under my breast, wrapping around my side. The doc said it was probably from where they pulled the stomach out, which is the correct side, but the incision was a lot lower. Anyway, it went away after about 8 weeks.

Save yourself the hassle and the mental headache, and don't worry about it. It's probably normal healing pains.

IF it's not the one your stomach pulled out from , they still could have a viewing scope there.

And since every thing to goes around, comes around TODA Z y I am the one with the weird ache. Left upper back about 3 inches from the spine. Any good ideas?

Could it be from Dr Noria trying to stretch out my strictured stoma? Bit of a reach, but could it be?

Everyone else's pains got all better?
