I was fine out of bypass then week 2 i started get pain in my side, rolling up to my ribs and reaching my shoulder. Almost took my breath away at times. When i rang my team they said it would be wind as they fill you full of gas, they said give it another couple of weeks and if no better we will bring you in to check you over. So i would just ring you team and ask, i does sound like what i had but its worth ringing to find out chick x

I had the lower left side stitch like pain... I just needed a good poo.. It tended to come after I had eaten and only lasted a few weeks.

Went to see the nurse tonight she said to see my gp or to contact my surgeon so going to ask surgeon as it may be due to the bypass

I have had a on and off (mostly on) stitch in my side since I came out of surgery on Thursday too. I am reassured to know it's not just me. The bariatric nurse did say it was fairly common but definately nice to know i'm not alone! x

Try to lie on you stomach it does help and if it is wind that definitely helps, could be you have been eating or drinking in gulps without noticing and creating wind pockets, I suffere from bowel colic the docs gave me buscopan when it starts I take that. I have notice dif I have 2 or 3 dyas on white bread I need buscopan for a few days, onc eover I would have had activia yoghurts but the fat free are laden with sugar I stick to ww now xx

I am really pleased were not alone and I see the nurse in a weeks time will post what they say

Yep got a stitch in the same place. Hot water bottle has helped a bit. Good luck.
