[Mindy78 372]

4 weeks post almost. Anyone had this problem. Wondering if I should go to dr. I handle pain very well but this is painful. Think it was due to Constipation but that was remedied last night

I'm not sure which side your pain is on but...I had my RNY in 2013. I had a terrible pain on my left side. I thought that I had hurt myself because of getting out of bed different. But I finally called my Surgeon and I was told that they put the instruments thru the opening on your left side. They have had people come into the office to get a shot. Because the nerves are waking up again. If you are having hard pain you might just call your Dr. to be safe. Sorry you are hurting.

I'm 3 weeks post and having the same. Actually the pain under my ribs has gotten much better the last couple of days, but the back pain is still there. I was worried because it's right where my left kidney is I think. Had a follow-up visit with P.A. couple days ago who seemed to think it was nothing to worry about. He said if I started experiencing urinary symptoms to see my pcp. I felt a little like it was blown off, but I'm going to give it more time. It's a sharp stabbing pain pretty much only when I move a certain way or sneeze or something. It stabs when I inhale deeply.

Me too!! I'm 3 weeks out. It's starting so bad to get worse I'm afraid I have kidney stones or kidney problems. My back is awful stabbing pain and that left incision area is awful. Always think it's a clot or something in my rib.

Call your surgeon. It could be normal but no one can really say.

My incissions are healed. I really didn't have gas pain much. I think that may have been it. Still tender but not sore.

They said gas or could be .nerves waking up. I'm feeling better today. I must say, but my eating has decreased more and Water as well. I'm forcing myself but not getting much in.

I had this same pain started out with rib pain and back but then nausea and my insides feeling like they were being wripped. This was 2 weeks out had to go to er and after checking for leaks found out the new popsicles I got outburst no sugar added. Well it has sorbitol as an ingredient which is known to cause stomach and intestinal issues. Which was intensified just having surgery. So check anything you are eating for that may need to not eat that. I know I learned my lesson!
