left side rib pain anyone?



Recommended Posts

Had surgery 11/17/10, I woke up two mornings ago with a dull pain in my left side. Almost feels like something is resting on my rib cage. Anyone else have this after surgery, It went away the next morning and now tonightit is back. Anyone else have this or now why it is happening? I will call the doctor in the AM but was hoping to hear from someone else to make myself feel better.

Unfortunately for me, Gas-Ex didn't work. It took over two week for the pain to go away completely, but in lessened along the way.

Good luck!

Gas as stated and insides are all swollen. Went away after about 2 or 3 wks. And you have walk to bring gas down. Basics walking around the house

You should call your doctor office for an appointment to get it checked out it could be pain from internal healing or something serious developing. It's been less than two weeks so you probably need a follow up

Good luck

I don't feel a tear pain it's just a dull ache on my ribs, is not always there mostly by the end of the day.

Took your advice and went to see the doc today. I have to go for an upper GI Thursday---The waiting my kill me. The pain is not bad just a dull ache. He did not seem to worried that it was band related but wanted to double check. He thought it might be imflamation on my rib for some reason weird.

I was banded on 10/1/2010 and just this past week I started feeling dull pain near my left ribs. It's not so intense yet that I need to call the dr. but I am going to mention it on Tuesday when I go for a fill. Sometimes I think it's because of the fact that I sit all day in a chair and rarely get to move around at my job.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
