Weird Pain on Left Side



Recommended Posts

I've been experiencing a strange cramp on my left side directly under my ribs. It's not very painful on a scale of 1-10 I would say it's between a 1 -2. I'm starting to get concerned because I've had this for 4 days. It gets worse after I eat but still no stronger and a 1.5 to 2. I called my doc and someone is supposed to call me back. Today is Sunday so who knows when I'll get a response. Should I be concerned about a leak. I'm about 5 weeks post op.

I just did by pre op and final class and we were just told about if you feel if something it's quite not right call dr if they don't call. Go er . Think about. It . Does it feel like sharp pain? Does it get worse with deep breathe ? If so remember pulmonary embolism I'm praying for you. ????????????????????Keep calling your doctor do they have nurses line.

I saw my doctor and I pulled a muscle when I was working out. My hospital discharge paperwork stated that I could start working out at 4 weeks (last week for me) but apparently my doctor wanted me to wait 6 weeks (next week for me) before working out. OOPS!! I'm glad it isn't anything serious. I see my surgeon on Friday and I'll have him check everything out again just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the responses!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
