I had my surgery 8 days ago and I still have some pain that starts under my rib cage and back pain too. My doctor said its because the diaphragm gets stretched during surgery and it's painful for a little while, especially in the back. So, he just has me taking extra ibuprofen to help with the inflammation (800mg 3 times a day), and said it will go away with time.
