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?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
