I am 10 days out from surgery and have pain on my right side

I am really feeling good, but today I started having pain right under my rib cage on my right side.  Anyone know what might be causing this?  Thanks

I had the same pain, called the family doc and she said it was the gas change from the liquid diet.  It did go away within a few days.  I also don't have a gallbladder.  You may want to give your surgeon's office or family doc a call on Monday.
Maybe it is normal when the liver starts shrinking?

I had it too but mine was lower and quite painful.  I thought I was having an apendicitis attack but it went away after a day or two.  Call your Dr if it continues.

I suffered so bad with that pain that I called my doctor at home and told her I think i had tore the muscle!   She just slightly laughed and said No, we pull your stomach out on the right side and put extra stitches in the muscle to close up the hole. It will go away in a few more days.  It took about another three or four days before it quit hurting and once it was gone there was no more pain ever. 
Since I had a pretty large part of my stomach taken out through an incision of about 1 inch in length, I could see why I would be hurting! 
I would say it may not hurt to ask your doctor any way for the reasons mentioned in prior emails. 

Things do get better however when one is in pain, it is hard to believe it will be better soon. 

Hang in there,

Get your gallbladder checked.

If you still have it call Dr Umbach. Do you have a gall bladder?

I had a pain similar to the one you described.  It was right under my right rib cage (It would only hurt when I enhaled deeply so I suspected either I cracked a rib or had some sort of lung inflammation.  ).  I started day 16 and lasted for about a week then just vanished.
