I had vsg surgery about a week and a half ago. (7/24) Everything going great until I woke up with sharp pain under my left rib cage yesterday morning. Hurt to take a deep breath, cough, sneeze, laugh, etc. Sometimes would radiate to my shoulder/collar bone. Pain continues today. I’ve had similar pain like this intermittently since surgery. Originally it was gas but 10-11 days out? I don’t think so.... Saw my surgeon yesterday and he felt it was muscular/nerve pain. Advised warm soaks. I don’t have fever/chills, SOB, increased heart rate, etc. Although so scared that I have a leak!! Has anyone else gone through this? I’m debating whether I should take myself to ER and get scanned for piece of mind........Help!

If it is the same tomorrow Monday morning, I would ask again. Squeaky,wheels get greased, the last thing anyone wants is for b you to be miserable,and in pain, especially your surgeon.Sometimes your body has trouble getting used to How you've been realigned. Keep in touch, we'll help if we can.
