Diagnose Me, Please?!



Recommended Posts

I have been having a dull ache/pain in my left side. Well inside the left side of my stomach. It's not where the port is or where the band is (at least I don't think). What could it be? It's not super painful, but it's uncomfortable.

Any advise is greatly appreciated!

Possibly gallbladder, but definitely needs a visit with a Dr.

I am fairly certain it is not your gallbladder, the gall bladder is on the right side.

I can tell you that I get this type of pain on my left side when I have eaten something too heavy. For example, I tried to eat some whole wheat bread and maybe I didn't chew as well as I should have, but I had that pain bothering me all night. It also good be gas. Try some gas-x.

It sounds like its in the area of your stomach and the first thing I thought of was gas or food not able to digest as well. But if gas-x or pepto don't help get to the doctor right away. A while back I had stomach pain and it turned into something bigger and not band related so please take care of yourself.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
