Question:
Pain around my rib cage?

I am 18 months post-op and at about 4 mos. out I started haing pain around my lower rib cage. It goes completely around both sides of my ribs. I have been tested for Costochondritis (a form of arthritis) and the tests proved negative. I've had a bone density test & a bone scan. The doctors seem to think that the pain is some form of neuralgia and could be caused by nerve damage from my original WLS surgery. I'm just wondering if any of you have heard of anyone suffering from nerve damage from the WLS incision. All suggestions and comments would be greatly appreciated. Love to all.    — Nancy G. W.
