Pain under rib cage left side

Is this my new hunger? In the pit of my stomach and under my rib cage on my left side I'll have pain, enough to get my attention. I can eat a little something and it goes away. Is this my new hunger pang?

That's interesting. Sounds like it must be your new trigger. Now you know.

Could be too much stomach acid especially if eating eases it - the food absorbs the acid. Do you take esomeprazole? Check with your medical team just to be sure.

I’ve had this for almost two years. Bariatric dr says it could be scar tissue or iBs. I have iBs but it’s weird, it’s always in the same spot. Did you get yours figured out?

I have this, it's scar tissue, and more than others because mine was a revision from a band. The eating may place relieving weight on the area. You may want the internal scaring cleared up.

Did your IBS improve at all after RNY?
