8 mons post op bypass pain under left rib

[Halloween22 0]

Hello all, I'm new here. I had gastric bypass on Halloween of 2022 and the past 2 days I have pain on and off on my left side under my rib. Mostly when bending a certain way, laughing or sometimes just randomly. Sometimes it's a burning sensation and sometimes it's a sharp pain. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Or what it might be. I've been googling my symptoms but so many different things come up. I was thinking ulcer in my unused stomach portion?? Not really sure.

Not sure what is going on but please check in with your Surgon/bariatric team & your primary.

Anything unusual like that would require medical expertise I don’t have. I hope it’s simple and easily resolved. Best wishes!

So you should definitely check with an expert, but is it possible that you have a stuck rib? I get them occasionally and it causes a burning sensation in my side. My chiropractor usually uses an activator to separate them for me.

Hard to say - ulcer? Liver? Gall bladder? Make an appt with your doctor - they'll likely check all of those things.
