Pain left side below rib cage

[TheMarine79 150]

I am having some pain on the left side under the rib cage. I breathe in and it hurts more. Anyone have any ideas what this could be?

Underskin reinforcing, stitchery, some doctors like a stitch or two put in when they withdrew the trochars If you were a sleeper I would say that's where they withdrew the stomach you no longer need, but you're a Bypass like me so that idea doesn't fly✈.

Experiencing the same...... the pain feels like my stomach muscles are tearing when i try to move from laying to sitting or to standing.... it also looks swollen from the outside.

Its only one of the incisions that really is excruciating. 😞

I'd contact the surgeon, better safe than sorry.
Good luck Marine

I had terrible pain at this exact spot that finally went away at 4 weeks post-op. I was assured by my surgeon's office that it is totally normal. It is where most of the tugging, pulling, and "manhandling" happens during surgery.
