Sharp pain under left rib for 24 hours - 5 months out



Recommended Posts

Hi everybody.

I was sleeved a little over 5 months ago. Yesterday, in the afternoon, I developed a sharp pain under my bottom left rib. It felt like gas maybe, but I've been walking and moving and the pain has not moved. I've tried going #2 as well, which didn't relieve the pain. It is sharp and has been in the same place for an entire day. It's not unbearable (I came to work today), I have no fever or other symptoms.

There was a moment yesterday when I ate too many Nut-Thin crackers and it made me nauseous. The pain seemed to start after that. Is this familiar to anyone?

I'm interested to hear as well. I'm only about 1.5 weeks out and I'm having a sharp pain in the left rib as well. It doesn't appear to be anywhere near an incision.

I think if you are experiencing PAIN and not discomfort you need to speak to your surgeon.

I was a month post op and got pain in my shoulders. I continued my day at work (somehow, not sure how), went home and went straight to bed. I was miserable. Woke up the next morning, went to the ER, within an hour, I was in emergency surgery. I had a perforation. The 2nd surgery was 10x worse than the sleeve. If you have ANY pain that far our, you need to see your surgeon.

OMG. I'm five months out and I had this same exact thing happen last weekend. So weird. No idea what it was I just kept telling myself it was just built up gas from something.

Also...I just posted about needing to talk to someone who had surgery around the time I did and who is still losing weight on a regular basis. If you are willing to talk to me and answer some questions let me know!

      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.
