Pain under bra/left ribcage



Recommended Posts

For the past week or so I have had the 'soreness' in my port area under my bra and left ribcage. It's not really "painful" but more like a constant burning feeling.

Has anyone had similar problems to this? What did the dr. tell you? I'm calling Monday to my dr.

Have you done any lifting or new excersise lately? I had this happen to me but my pain was more like a stich and wasn't constant. It happened after I lifted some heavy boxes. Everything turned out fine. I hope all goes well with you. Keep us posted on what your doctor says.

I got the "stitch" too. It was a cramp in my left side rib cage that came on and off, usually when I was sitting. I could get the pain to leave temporarily when I stood or was lying flat. It seems to be gone now...

Port area is slightly tender and only notice it occasionally. It actually kinda itched...almost inside???!!! Weird feeling

I get this...I thought it was just gas (????) from either eating too much or going without for too long. Not sure though, mine usually subsides within an hour.

      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.
