aromer55 0 Posted July 27, 2010 I need help. I'm 4 months post op. Just recently I started getting a dull pain under my rib cage on the left side. It comes and goes but I feel it more when I yawn or take deep breathes. Has anyone experienced this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
btrieger 21 Posted July 27, 2010 In the summer it is usually a sign of dehydration. It could be a slight case of pneumonia or a URI. I'm not a doctor but speak from experience. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marsmom 2 Posted July 27, 2010 I've been getting that too. I have been wondering what it was. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drasan 23 Posted July 27, 2010 I'm 4.5 months out and I sometimes get that pain as well. Usually if I've been sitting awkwardly or sometimes I just get it. I assume it's associated with the port/tubing/band. I massage the area with my fingers or palm of my hand and it seems to help it go away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ddrag 0 Posted August 1, 2010 Hey, I get that same exact pain off and on. Especially when I yawn or breath deeply. It often hurts to sleep on my left side too. My only guess is that it has something to do with my band/port??? Let me know if you figure it out. Dena Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
langes21 0 Posted August 2, 2010 I get it too. Pretty much every time I eat. I can rub it away sometimes but it is uncomfortable. Right now I think my band is too tight. I got a fill last Tuesday and started eating "real" food on Friday. I have been in pain with every meal this weekend. It feels like there is something stuck in my esophagus. I can't eat anything and I am starving. I'm calling tomorrow to get some liquid out. This is bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HappyHomeCC 2 Posted August 2, 2010 I feel like when that happens it is the port and the stitching into my muscles because it is sewn there under the muscle... however last night I had a sharp pain cuz I did over eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChristyH84 0 Posted August 10, 2010 I am 10 days post-op and starting having same pain on left side under rib three days ago. It is a constant pain, but worse after I eat. Talked to nurse today and she said is commonly due from Constipation and suggested Milk of Magnesia. It helped within a few hours and relieved the pain tonight.
