I am 15 days post op today. Anybody else experience pain below the left rib? Not really a pain but discomfort more than anything. A dull ache? Im ok sitting bd or laying down but moving around or riding in the car; causes discomfort when moving.

Flank pain can be a sign of worsening dehydration. Make sure you're hydrating well. Mention it to your doctor if it doesn't improve.

Ok thank you. I will be sure to make sure I’m getting enough to drink or head into urgent care if it keeps up for a bag of fluids.

Could be your tummy healing too. Some surgeons use an internal tethering stitch which could be pulling when you’re active. Constipation can cause discomfort & intestinal spasms as well.

But as @Creekimp13 suggested, contact your medical team to be sure.
