Hi there -- I have had an intermittent dull ache just to the left of where my pouch is. (FYI RNY 2/8/12). I called the doc and they didn't seem to be concerned. Anyone have this? It is on and off and I can't seem to trace it back to one event (eating, drinking, etc.). It doesn't hurt per se, it is just disconcerting....

    It is very normal. My surgeon explained that they take an extra stitch or two on the left side to secure things. It twinges for a while but should go away very soon. Before you know it, you won't even notice it.
