I'm 6 weeks post op & have been having SHARP pains in my left side/area for days! When I laugh & certain movements.. I had the initial prolonged discomfort on my left side, which is normal. That stopped a few weeks ago.. This is new & I just want to know if anyone has had this and what was the reason?!?

Call your doctor! It could be gallbladder.

Your gallbladder in on your right side, not the left. But..... I'm 95% sure the appendix is lower left abdomen. Good luck!!

Appendix is on the lower right. Female problems perhaps? Constipation? Call your surgeon.

Is it close to an incision? I had excruciating pain and it ended up just being a tight stitch (and me overdoing myself with walking too much)... It took a few days of rest then self resolved.

Saw the dr. yesterday, & he seems to think it's just a suture I'm feeling as it's dissolving. I asked him what would cause the sharp pains, & he said the muscles responding to it. He didn't "feel" a hernia or seem concerned.. So hoping it goes away soon! Thanks for y'all's thoughts!!

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
