Question:
Pain on my left side when I eat

Hello. I am having pain in my left side when I eat. Its not eith anything. Its when I eat solids. Liquids or musy foods no pain at all. Its way at the bottom where my belly button is and way to left. Is that my stomach? I have to see my surgeon on the 14th and I can't get in an earlier to see her? What could this be? I am 8 months post op.    — SuniRx (posted on June 4, 2005)

When was the last time you saw your surgeon, did you have this pain then? If you haven't seen him/her for a while, this would be an excellent oportunity to investigate it's origins, meanwhile stick with the foods you can manage untill you and your Doctor know what your problem is. Your WLSA surgeon should be a life long point of reference from now on. Good luck to your future weight loss plans.

Sometimes if you are having complications then the drs staff will put you in earlier. Did you tell the person on the phone that you made the appt with that you were having this pain? Just a thought :-)

I don't have any answers, but I have a question. Could it possibly be a hernia? Hernias happen near the belly button. If it is, you need to tell someone that you need to be seen (and even if it isn't). Sometimes you have to be persistant with the staff to get what you need done. Good luck and let us know how it turns out. Lisa

that is where my DH gets pain w/ an attack of diverticulitis, which is avery serious thing. You really should see a doctor about this.
