Could be gas, I developed it one week after surgery.

It could be a leak. It could be gas. It could be something else or nothing.

But you won't know unless you get examined medically.

My surgeon looked at it yesterday and said he thought everything was fine but it still hurts its low on my left side

How would you know if you have a leak

I'm having similar pain, I'm pretty sure it's bowel related. I'm never constipated, and I've been going at least once a day (sorry for the Tmi). However, it is lower than the stomach, I had had a c.t. scan, no leak. Try a stool softener or maybe something a little stronger. Our sleeve is getting used to a change in textures after many weeks of liquid and things maybe clogging up.

I take Miralax daily because I had issues right after surgery

I'm having fairly similar pain too and am planning on asking my surgeon about it at my follow-up tomorrow. But I'm going fairly regularly too and stool softeners haven't helped the pain. When the pain wasn't as bad last week, I asked my surgeon and said it was probably just exertion-related because I had been doing more housework and bending over a lot - it hurts below my lower stitches, mostly on my right side.

He said I was all good just worries me because it hurts so bad maybe it's female stuff

I tried gas x, helped a little, but it's not a sharp gas pain, more of a bloated full feeling, lower than my stomach. I've struggled even sleeping on my stomach, which was not an issue a couple days ago. I have a call into my doc, I don't go back for 2 weeks. Have you started pureed or soft foods recently?

[armiller 25]

Yes started soft foods this week

That is kind of what it feels like, although, worse than I'm used to in that department. I was told by a nurse that had it...hormones and your cycle can be more in volume afterwards...maybe that's it, has been 3 weeks!?!?

. Feeling the same way. Left ovary pain, and a bit higher. I called my clinic and got the hormone talk too. 3weeks out at 45. I'm using liquid Tylenol before bed, and I'm up at 2 am writing this. It's been about 4 days and my felt like gas too. Then moved lower.
