problems years later

[Renee Harris 0]

I had (Gastric sleeve) surgery 8 or 9 years ago. At first I lost a great deal of weight and then slowly gain it all back. But my question I keep getting pain and discomfort in the upper left part of my stomach. I also sometimes get a slight burying sensation through my whole stomach area. And I have also noticed a hard lump under my skin in that same area. I am not sure if this has something to do with the surgery or just something else. I was wondering if anyone had an insight to this. I plan to see my regular Dr. soon.

Also wondering if anyone else have started gaining weight years after surgery. I am interested in your thoughts.

Sounds like you need to be scoped to be sure you haven't developed an ulcer or erosion

I have a similar problem. I feel the burning sensation in my stomach & fell nauseated frequently. I'm scheduled for an endoscopy on Nov 4th and hopefully I will get answers. I'm almost 8 months out. You definitely should consult your Dr. Good luck!
