Left Upper Abdominal pain



Recommended Posts

I am 3 months out and all day today I am having sharp, stabbing pain in my left upper abdominal area under my ribs. It is quite painful and has me worried. Has anyone else had anything like this? Has anyone ever developed a leak this far out?

Leaks aren't common that far out but not unheard of. Your stomach is located in the area you describe, are you having an other symptoms? Is it soon after meals or after you take medications? Ulcers can cause stabbing pains (I speak from experience). Is it when you move a certain way...it's a little late for it, but could be adhesions. It could be several things, but if it persists, you should really consult your surgeon or go to the ER. I hope it goes away and that you feel better soon. Best of luck.

I was having that same pain, went to the E.R and my gall bladder was completely obstructed and had to be removed. The gall bladder being obstructed can cause pancreatitis and that is what was actually causing the pain on the left. I was told it happens when you lose weight quickly. I had to stay in the hospital until my gall bladder surgery. Good luck!

I'm having the same pain and I'm 13 days out. I had my gallbladder removed though so I know its not related. I also cannot eat anything. It just hurts even drinking Water. I think I will call my surgeon tomorrow.

      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.
