Pain on left side of tummy :(

[mandym1]

Hi.. I'm a bit worried I nearly 15 weeks out of suregery and have recently started having twinges of pain in my left side of my tummy. It wasnt bad enough to mention to anyone just twinges. Im now nearly 5 stone down but my weight loss has stalled. Again I wasnt too concerned as Ive had a terrible cold and not been moving much so knew this was probably the reason. I am well again now so just been to the gym and as soon as I started fast walking on the treadmill the pain got really bad taking my breathe away... Ive come home as I didnt feel well enough to use any other equipment or have my usual swim. The pain is similar to a stitch and seems to be where most of the initial pain after surgery was on the left... I havent had pain for a long time so this has come from nowhere.. My bowels are working fine too. Any ideas what could be causing it?

Would I joke young lady, its the hole, where they had a drain line in, when they did my op, It collects a little amount of blood, not sure where from though lol

Hi Mandy,

If in doubt contact your team. However look back and think what have you been doing recently? Have you been lifting anything heavy? Bending a lot? It could be the internal muscles healing? The left side for most WLS patients is where during keyhole surgery most of the work is done. Although you are quite a few weeks out you could still be haling. But like everyone else has said if it persists then speak to your Team.

I had the same pain, it got to be excruciating and I ended up back in hospital with it, was terrified something had gone wrong but was assured by surgeon it was just trauma from op, I did'nt believe him but he was right, pain went after a couple of weeks and I havent had it since. Its definitely worth mentioning to your team though. Hope it settles down soon for you. xxx
