Pain on left side of back



Recommended Posts

I have been dealing w/ a pain on the left side of my back since being sleeved. I was sleeved on 9.20.12. At first I thought it was due to Constipation, but it's not. It's also not a constant pain. It seems to start hurting if I stand for a period of time esp. When walking. Has anyone else experienced this? I've seen my Dr about it, but no conclusion on what could be causing it.

You'll experience all sorts of weird pains for awhile I tend to wonder if its everything readjusting. if your really concerned though have a chat to your surgeon.

If its mid back I would say maybe kidney stone?

I have already spoken to my surgeon,so I guess its time to seek out another dr's opinion??? The pain is on my left back under where my rib cage is. If u press on it the pain subsides. I was just curious if anyone else had the same pain around the same location.

Interesting that you mention this because I too have most recently had this pain. Mine normally happens from sitting. This is odd isn't it?

I wonder what it is??? I've tried figuring it out, but cannot pinpoint what causes it.

      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.
