6 months out pain
Call your centre and tell them about it, see what they say. Or if you have a good doctor who if familiar with your surgery see them. If it gets too bad go to emergency. Good luck and I hope it goes away soon...

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards. - Soren Kierkegaard
It sounds like you are having a gallbladder attack. They tend to come on when you eat. Assuming that yours isn't out yet. If the pain is bad, lasts a while, or worsens go to emergency. If it fades quick, contact your clinic in the morning.
One of the causes of gallbladder attacks is to lose weight quickly. So we tend to get them more often. And small stones are worse than large stones as small stones get stuck in the ducts and cause the pain.

I'm not an expert on this, but when I had my attacks it was like a sword going from back to front in the middle. I do know that the pain can wrap around from front to back, which is why I felt it where I did.
I just looked up some symptoms and it can hit the left side:
Symptoms of Gallbladder Inflammation (Acute Calculous and Acalculous Cholecystitis) Between 1 and 3% of people with symptomatic gallstones develop inflammation in the gallbladder (acute cholecystitis), which occurs when stones or sludge block the duct. The symptoms are similar to those of biliary colic but are more persistent and severe. They include the following: Pain in the upper right abdomen that is severe and constant, and may last for days. Pain frequently increases when drawing a breath. Pain may also radiate to the back or occur under the shoulder blades, behind the breast bone, or on the left side. About a third of patients have fever and chills, which do not occur with uncomplicated biliary colic. Nausea and vomiting may occur. As I said, if the pain worsens, or does lingers, go to emergency. They can do quicker testing to confirm what the cause is. And if you have further attacks and it is gallbladder, it may assist with determining how quick you need surgery. When I had my attacks, I was in ER twice in 2 days, including spending time in observation then had surgery 2 days later. I have had a friend who was given meds and a restricted diet given a surgeon appointment and was operated on a couple months later. If it does go away, still follow up with your clinic. Cathy
