I had my surgery last Thursday and I'm experiencing occasionally a VERY sharp pain on the left side of my stomach, right under my rib cage. I don't have it all the time, or even often, but when it happens, it takes my breath away. Every time it has happened, it's been after hours, and has gone away so I haven't told my Doctor. SHould I be concerned enough to call his emergency number? Has anyone else experienced this? Is it gas?

My pain like that was Constipation. I described it as a knife inside twisting its way out. My PA put me on clear Fiber three times a day and three colase before bed. Check with your doctor.

I'm having pain at the incision right above my belly button and just to the right of it. My surgery was 2-26-14. I'm exercising and all but sometimes the pain stops me from wanting to move. I'm hoping it's just because they are still healing??

Every one is different. My surgery was 1/27/14. I wasn't released to work out till 4 wks. My incision at my belly button is the last one to heal. When I sit, my waistband irritates it. I wear a tank top tucked it everyday to help.

      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.
