Left Rib Cage - Babies Foot?



Recommended Posts

Ugh the last 3 days I've had an annoying pressure in my left rib cage! Today its been all day. I feel like I'm 9 months pregnant and the babies foot is jammed up in my left rib cage! Its sooo uncomfortable. Im 9 days post op tomorrow. I was completely off pain meds and tonight I have to take them just to hopefully get some rest, its such an irritation. Ive read others had this, but the thread has been dead over the last year, anyone lately, if so what was it? Im pretty certain my doc said he took the stomach out on the middle to right side, not left.

:(

Thanks in advance I will give the office a call tomorrow, or today, its 1am!

I spoke to them yesterday, they really didn't have a sound answer... They said what is usually said, "gas". Nothing helps, so perhaps the doc will xray the area this week when I go in for my 2 wk check up. Thanks for asking about it!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
