Sharp Pain Under Left Rib Cage

[hippychic 9]

At about 5 days post op I started getting super sharp pains under left rib cage. It would come and go but very sgarp pain. I never had any gas pains so not sure what they feel like. I kinda started freaking out. But then it would pass and I would be totally fine. Then the next day at 2 different times during the day it happpened again. But would passs. Then a day without any. Then today I had it again, I feel totally great other than the few times when i feel that I am being stabbed.

Anyone else feel anything similiar?

Call your doctor. It's frequent, it's more than can be tolerated and you're post-op. we Sleevers have to be hyper aware of post-op complications. If its a leak, the sooner you find it, the better. If its gas, that's easy. But if it were me...I would get checked.

Call your dr. I had (still have) a leak and I am pretty sure that other symptoms usually come with one.... although I am not a medical professional (hope that helps give you some comfort). I bet it's gas, but call your dr. Better safe than sorry!
