Thank you for responding. They had my stand up & lay down. I'm not sure what to think?

This is what my CT scan said... "There is a 3.7 x 2.1cm fluid collection to the left of the gastroesophageal junction" I did an upper GI & that came back fine.

It's not horrible pain that I can't take, it'a a nagging on & off pain. Hopefully I'm just a slow healer & it's not a big deal.

I have a 32b too & feel the same way. I feel like something is stuck in my throat. hopefully it will get better.

Thank you. I met with my GP on monday about it. She said it was out of her legue, to talk to the surgeon. My husband called the surgeon today, he has not heard back though. DOS was 12/15/11

On NYE I ended up in the ER with very bad stomach pain & pain in between my shoulder blades. I was admitted to the hospital and a CT scan was done. I was told the scan was clear but my lab work showed I had pancreatitis. I was sent home the next day on a strict diet. My surgeon was out of the country during my ER visit & had no on call doctor. So when we met a week ago I told him what happened. He looked up the CT scan report & lab work & told me the CT scan shows "fluid collection". He said we need to rule out a leak or an abscess. I had an upper GI done last wed. I was told it came back fine & it's not a leak. I'm still having left shoulder pain on & off!? My surgeon doesn't seem to think it's a leak, he said I would be sicker & running a fever. Don't get me wrong I'm happy it's not a leak but I can't help but suspect it could be because of this damn shoulder pain. I'm not sure what to do???

No leak!! Wooohoooo!

no I will not be billed. My husband spoke with the insurance co. and it's covered.

Well I'm a mix of emotions after my 1mo. post-op appointment. Good news first, I have lost a total of 33lbs so far! Now for the not so good news, I may or may not have a leak or an abcess..... On NYE I ended up in the ER with very bad stomach pain & pain in between my shoulder blades. I was admitted to the hospital and a CT scan was done. I was told the scan was clear but my lab work showed I had pancreatitis. I was sent home the next day on a strict diet. My surgeon was out of the country during my ER visit & had no on call doctor. So today when we met I told him what happened. He looked up the CT scan report & lab work & told me the CT scan shows "fluid collection". He said we need to rule out a leak or an abscess. I am having an upper GI this wed. please please pray it's not a leak!! :/

Things to keep an eye on... low blood pressure & low blood sugar.

I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! Sending you many prayers & wishing you a speedy recovery!

Wow I'm sorry you went through all that! I'm a Michigander too! Who is your surgeon?

I have this issue too! It feels like something is stuck in my throat! what did your doctor say?

DOS 12/15/11 No lie, my husband said I woke up from a sound sleep, sat up in bed & yelled out "bring me a bowl of cheez-its!"

I have the same issue! I met with my surgeon today. He said it is not typical but can happen. I hope it doesn't last long.
