I know I should probably ask my surgeon and I probably will but thought I would ask if anyone else experienced this...  On my left side, under my ribcage, it's a bit swollen and it really itches.  If I push on it, it hurts.  Wondering what it is?  I see the nurse on Wednesday, so I'll ask her too.  I had surgery on November 23,2015.  Haven't had any issues... yet

So sorry you are struggling!  If it were me, I wouldn't wait until Wednesday. I think it is good to err on the side of caution after what we go through!  Best of luck and keep us posted!

I'd call the dr. now just in case it's the start of a hernia or a blockage or a leak of some sort.
