Gamma98 22 Posted June 30, 2021 I am 15 days post op today. Anybody else experience pain below the left rib? Not really a pain but discomfort more than anything. A dull ache? Im ok sitting bd or laying down but moving around or riding in the car; causes discomfort when moving. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Creekimp13 5,840 Posted June 30, 2021 Flank pain can be a sign of worsening dehydration. Make sure you're hydrating well. Mention it to your doctor if it doesn't improve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gamma98 22 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Ok thank you. I will be sure to make sure I’m getting enough to drink or head into urgent care if it keeps up for a bag of fluids. Edited July 1, 2021 by Gamma98 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arabesque 7,426 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Could be your tummy healing too. Some surgeons use an internal tethering stitch which could be pulling when you’re active. Constipation can cause discomfort & intestinal spasms as well. But as @Creekimp13 suggested, contact your medical team to be sure.
