Hi. It's probably referred pain from trapped wind under your diaphragm, it happens alot with any abdominal surgery. They pump air into the abdomen to make room so they can get to the organs, making it easier for them to work, should settle down soon. If not speak to your team, good luck on you weightoss journey x

Had this really bad after my op last week - tried Windeze tablets and also did some stretching exercises (sideways and forwards and back) to release any trapped wind and also used heat packs on it.
Was close to tears yesterday with the pain but it's so much better today so going to carry on taking the tablets and keeping things moving!

If this is happening six months post op I would speak to your GP or consultant - you could have gall bladder problems or perahps gallstones. x

I had the same pain for weeks after my surgery, I found peppermint cordial in a little warm water shifted the wind causing the pain and also moving about as much as possible will help dislodge the trapped wind. Good luck! x
