4 months post operative

[ladydavis00 1]

I had the gastric sleeve done on 11/9/15. I still have left sided shoulder pain after I eat and sometimes when I lay down. It's a severe sharp stabbing pain. This pain has been there since day 1 after surgery. Any suggestions?

What does your surgeon say?

He said to wait till my 3 month follow up and I have appointment this next week. He said it should not be hurting still at the 6wk post op appt.

You definitely need to see your surgeon. This is the type of thing you need to ask a medical professional.

I agree. It certainly should not still be hurting you this far out.

Please keep us posted when you find out. Very interesting and I'm sure --bothersome to you.

I will keep you posted. I have did some research on it and everything points to a leak.

Oh, I don't know about that. I think if you had a leak you would really be down and out sick.

If you truly believe you have a leak then you need to see your surgeon "yesterday". Really get in there and see him/her.

Take care and feel better.

Have they checked your Iron? ?? I kept having pains and other symptoms. Come to find out my iron was really low. Started a supplement last week and I'm having less pain and more energy.

Ok, I don't want to freak you out but I had that same thing but 8 days after surgery it showed up. I ended up in the hospital with a pulmonary embolism and now I'm on blood thinners for at least the next 3 months. Please go get it checked out.
