Having issues- had probs with trapped wind before. This similar but different- was constipated then, not now. Gas pain bilateral under ribs worsens after food. Nearly went to a&e last night but couldn’t afford to get there. Considering waiting til pain abates a bit and driving there now.

Any advice?

You are several months post op at this stage and probably in the maintenance phase. Changing dietary intake is one of the major causes of gas. Perhaps the gas pain is associated with the types of food that you are eating. In my case I know that Beans cause me to produce a lot of gas.

According to the internet when searching under gas pain bilateral under ribs "A feeling of discomfort or pain under your right rib cage is very often caused by excessive gas in your colon. You may feel it in different parts of your abdominal area, depending on the location of the buildup of gas, however, it usually occurs under the right rib cage."

The following link identifies potential causes and treatments for this condition.

Thank you- I think it is gas. Had raw red cabbage and green Beans in salad yesterday lunch. Made mistake of eating today - corn tortilla avocado and feta and back in agony.

Read the article. Makes sense.

Always amazed how much pain gas can make!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
