Left-Sided Soreness And Discomfort

[CrazyCatLady 130]

I am now 9 days post op and have been experiencing something odd. I used to be able to feel my stomach as "central" in my abdomen - just under my breastbone and southward. If I drank something cold on an empty stomach, I could feel it trace all the way straight down from my esophagus.

Since surgery, I have had persistent soreness (no pain - normal for post-op, I know) only in my left upper abdominal quadrant. Also, I can feel my sleeve...on my left. Almost directly under my left breast, down by a handsbreadth. When I drink, I can feel the Fluid go straight down my esophagus, then jog over to the left and congregate in my sleeve. Has anyone else experienced this? I am tempted to ask my surgeon, but don't want to be a paranoid patient, lol!
