Pain under left rib cage



Recommended Posts

I've been having this pain under my rib cage for the past couple of days. I am assuming it is just the gas, but I'm not sure as the pain seems to be in the same spot constantly. Has anyone else had this?

I had this, horrible pain. I ended up going to the ER to rule out a pulmonary embolism (blot clot in the lung) and took my pain meds for a few days and after 4 or 5 days I'm back to normal now. You should probably check with your doc to be safe though.

Yes i experienced that about a week ago, i had been overdoing it with my eating for about a week I don't know what the pain was it was really bad for one day kinda bad on day two and just a distant memory now..I don't know what it was though..i meant to ask my surgeon last week but forgot. I am thinking it had something to do with my port .... maybe ??? don't know but hopefully it doesn't happen again, it was kinda scary...i will ask my surgeon next time I see her though..If I remember LOL.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
