I woke up this morning with a stabbing pain in my left side it feels like a really bad side ache......like you would get sometimes as a kid.

It is on my port side and midway between my port and breast. It is more towards my back though.

It hurt really bad when I woke up it is not that bad now, but it is still there.....has anyone else had this?

I am seeing my surgeon tomorrow to have him check it out.

I was just curious if anyone else had had this happen to them.

I've never had the pain on the left side, but you DEFINITELY need to have it checked out...I'm glad you have an appointment tomorrow! Since my surgery I've had pain in my lower right side. I'm going to mention it at my next appointment, but wondered if anyone else had this?!?!

I am 4 weeks out and still get gas trapped under my ribs on the left. Extremely painful. I take a couple of the gas X strips and do what comes natural from both ends and it subsides. But its a good idea to have it checked out!!

If the pain gets any worse or you develope fever do not wait until tomorrow to see your doctor. Call his office or go to the ER. You are probably experiencing nothing serious but best not to assume.

I used the heating pad last night and went to bed and woke up this morning and it was gone.

I called the Dr and they said I did not have to come in as long as the pain was gone and if it came back just to call them back.

I feel fine tonight. I assume it must of been gas.

If you're still having the pain, try laying down on the side that hurts. That was the best gas tip I got.
