Sleeve pain - 7 weeks post op

[TheWrensJourney 2]

Hello all! I am new to this forum. I don't have alot of luck asking questions at my doctor's office so I figured I'd ask here. I am disgusted with my program, to be honest but that's another story.

For the past week I have been having pain in my sleeve. It hurts pretty much all day, regardless of what I eat. Sometimes the pain is barely noticeable and sometimes, like right now, it's pretty painful. Feels like there's alot of pressure, like someone is squeezing my sleeve. Today it has been more painful tham usual but I had a bad bout of diarrhea around noon today after drinking some strong coffee. Sometimes it feels like it is spasming.

I had my barium swallow x-ray last Thursday and nothing looked out of the ordinary.

My bariatric nurse says this is not uncommon.

I don't have my gallbladder. The pain is right where my stomach is on the left side.

Have any of you experienced this? Have any advice?

Thank you!!

I'm 6 weeks out and this is not something I have experienced. I do have pain in the chest/collarbone/neck but not in my stomach. I am in the same boat as you. My surgeon and his staff have not been helpful answering questions. But if you're in pain you need to let them know and if they don't care, you need to find a doctor that does. Even if that means going to the EE.
