cross post -- left abdominal pain -- help?
Just tried to post this so forgive if it double posts, but here's the gist of what I am trying to say.
Forget that I'm a nurse, on a bariatric unit. I'd tell YOU to call your surgeon, and I'd be right to say it. But right now, I need to hear y'all's opinions and experiences if you've gone through this.
All day, I've had severe left abdominal pain, right under the rib cage. I've eaten normally -- doesn't feel better or worse with eating or drinking. I've gotten in all protein & fluids. Normal bowel movement yesterday. I've walked over 12,000 steps today, so even got in my exercise! I am burping/passing gas normally -- never have an issue with that! -- and it doesn't relieve the pain.
I was diagnosed with cat scratch fever yesterday but had had no pain other than in my lymph nodes in my right groin and a headache.
I have had NO complications with my bypass. But has anyone experienced anything like this that was related to their bypass? Or anything else?

Dena,
I'm sure that you already have a call in to your Dr. I had a similar scenario last spring, but it was on right side and it was a kidney stone. Might want to have it checked.
I hope that you'll be feeling better soon.
