What Causes Right-sided Rib Cage Pain After Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Just had gastric bypass surgery. Have pain on right side under rib. Emergency room took CT scan, said all they could find was What looked like a sac filled with fuild. Said body should absorb it and gave me pain meds. That was in Redding where I live in CA. But I had sugery done in San Francisco, November 17th. Should I get a second opinion?
