Hello doctor!
My father is 63 years old this year, 3 weeks after surgery to treat gastric perforation at the small curvature. After being discharged from the hospital, he had pain in both sides of his ribs, always had a nagging feeling that he had no appetite. Ultrasound showed that there was still free fluid in the abdomen. The doctor asked me if my appetite, flank pain after gastric bypass surgery is serious? How is the treatment? Looking forward to consulting your doctor help me.

Hi there!
Because you did not specify the cause of gastric perforation, the doctor cannot give you detailed advice. Depending on the cause of gastric perforation (gastric ulcer, stomach cancer, ...) that recovery after surgery will be different. You should take your father to see a gastroenterologist for specific advice.
Thank you for trusting Vinmec Health System, looking forward to meeting you directly for more detailed advice. Best regards!
