Anyone experience sharp pain rhs of back in the middle? Symptoms I read about gallstones say pain is usually in abdomen. I have sharp pain in the middle right side of my back. Feels just like a kidney stone (severe sharp pain)

I wear a cpap at night and I have noticed that I find myself wearing it while awake also during the day since surgery. Am I slowing down my recovery by doing this? I do the spiral res therapy every hour and try to walk for 10 min at least every 2 hrs. It's not that I can't breath but I find it much easier and relaxing w cpap on. I'm prob a little dehydrated as well as I am still learning how to get my fluids in.

Thank you all for the input!

My first post! I'm 42 and a male starting at 397 goal of 225. I'm scheduled for the sleeve on Nov. 19. I have researched until I feel like I go in circles a bit. I'm aware of the pros and cons to both for the most part but I am curious to hear some success stories of others with higher bmi's and the sleeve. It seems to me that either rny or the sleeve will just be a tool and ultimately success is based on developing healthier habits. Other than the "penalty" of dumping as a deterrent is there any other reason I could not be just as successful with the sleeve? I can't find as much research on the sleeve so hoping to get some more insight here.
