cbag 0 Posted October 15, 2016 I was laying on my couch stomach up and started to get a very sharp pain on my left up side rib cage. It was very hard to get up and breath. I on day 3 from surgery the sleeve. Once I got myself up pain started to easy. Taking deep breaths but pain is still there. Should I be concerned?

IMissVegas 23 Posted October 15, 2016 It may still be a gas bubble from that gas they use to inflate the abdomin for surgery. That takes a long time to go away.

Fignewton 4 Posted October 27, 2016 I've heard trapped gas can really feel like sharpe pains. Moving around to help push it out is the best thing to do to release it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
