Pain under rib cage left side



Recommended Posts

Is this my new hunger? In the pit of my stomach and under my rib cage on my left side I'll have pain, enough to get my attention. I can eat a little something and it goes away. Is this my new hunger pang?

That's interesting. Sounds like it must be your new trigger. Now you know.

Could be too much stomach acid especially if eating eases it - the food absorbs the acid. Do you take esomeprazole? Check with your medical team just to be sure.

Iโ€™ve had this for almost two years. Bariatric dr says it could be scar tissue or iBs. I have iBs but itโ€™s weird, itโ€™s always in the same spot. Did you get yours figured out?

I have this, it's scar tissue, and more than others because mine was a revision from a band. The eating may place relieving weight on the area. You may want the internal scaring cleared up.

Did your IBS improve at all after RNY?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
