pain please HELP

[carrion98 3]

I am a week out RNY and I am having pain to the left side with what feels like is muscle cramping. I took magnesium citrate so I have had a bowel movement. This pain is in a knot form and goes from under left breast to left lower abdomen. Anyone have this happen. The doctor office says it's normal but it doesn't feel normal. Please any input.

It's probably the gas they used to do the laparoscopic approach...I'm assuming yours was done that way?!

It usually is left-sided (mostly) and can last from a day to two weeks (or at least that's what I was told back when I had mine).

Hang in there...it only gets better...and it gets better really fast, so just hang on!!!

Keep us posted on your progress.

Walk, walk, walk. It should ease up gradually. Keep in touch w/your doctor's office. Most likely they are right but call them back if it doesn't slowly improve or if it gets worse.
