TERRIBLE pain under left rib cage!!!!



Recommended Posts

I am truly hoping someone can can help me with this. I am 1110 days post op and 2 days after surgery I had TERRIBLE searing pain under my left rib cage and I STILL have it to this day. I was re admitted to the hospital for 3 days and they could find nothing physically wrong. It's no where near my incisions, it doesn't go away with moving or walking. It just hurts SUPER bad, They have me at home on 6mg dilaudid (crushed) a day. WEll, thats fine but it doesnt explain why this happened or if it is ever going to subside. Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them after surgery??? I was told it could be a torn muscle from surgery or from trying to pull myself up I did something. IDK, but would appreciate any advice!!! Thanks!!!!

Your port might have flipped. Did they check? It hurts when the port unattaches from your body sometimes. It happened to me and the pain went away.

I had the same problem about a month and a half post op. I was terrified, because of course first thought was something was wrong with my band. Are you having regular bowel movements? I ended upnbeing constipated, which made my port stick out, thus irritating my abdomen and causing the pain. Did a couple days of laxatives, and it hasn't happened since. Hope this helps?

This helped me because I haven't pooped since my preop laxative. Which was 8 days ago. I will try to get my bowels moving.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
