Gas?

[GotItDoneInHarlem 302]

I am consistently getting a sharp stabbing pain under one incision. It happens maybe twice a day. I walk through it but am not sure if that's what is making it go away. It's right under my ribs. I'm a week post-op and assumed that gas pain would be done by now.

Anyone else getting stabbing pains at random times?

Not sure if this would be the same for you but, I had consistent odd pains like that early on. I mentioned them to the np. She told me that they called where I was “the ooey gooey” phase lol! She said that is where things are starting to settle and stick together again.

you may want to give your dr a call just to be sure.

Maybe it is regular gas and not the gas from surgery too.

Sorry but it takes about 4 months - See they propped up your liver to get to you stomach and stretched and moved all kinds of parts and pieces around. I asked the doc about this and your body needs to re adjust and get its parts and pieces back in place. Took me over 3 months for that sharp pain to finally stop. i used to get it while sleeping and wake up in a cold fling - Sucks but it goes away

I think I had random stabbing pains for two or three weeks, as I recall...

I had one larger incision that my doctor used to remove the piece of my stomach. He put a couple of sutures in it. The others were small enough that the didn't need it. I had some times when I could feel it pull and cause a sharp pain. Just a guess on my part though, but you should check with your doctor.
