Hi guys, 

I'm having some issues this afternoon and my drs office is closed already. I decided OH is my first stop before I page the on call Dr. Anyway so here it is... I am having pretty bad pain to the left of my belly button. I feel gassy (tmi) so I'm hoping that's all it is but it hurts pretty bad. I'm a little freaked out. Prior to surgery something like this would have been chalked up to a gas bubble but with all the intestinal changes I feel like I need to be extra cautious. So two questions... Can I and should I take gas x and secondly, when should I call my Dr?

I'm 10 weeks post op BTW

Take Gas-x and call the doctor if the pain is still there.  It does sound like gas.

As soon as I saw the title of your post 'Bad Pain', I thought get thyself to a medical professional. Walk in clinic, general practitioner, whatever. Some people here are against getting every little thing checked out, but severe pain seems important to get examined.

Good luck and keep us posted.

I really appreciate your concern. I took the gas x and it seemed to help. I go back to my Dr in 2 weeks so if it is still giving me a problem I will mention it to him. If it starts back up bad like it was yesterday then I will get seen sooner. Thanks again!
