Ok, so here's what I found: people are saying its gas pain from the surgery itself. Someone mentioned that they kinda blow up your insides with C02 to work around everything, and sometimes gas gets stuck and you have to walk it out of your system. Others mentioned that this pain was their trigger/signal that they're full or ate too much. Only a few mentioned that it could be stricture or leak, but these peeps were further out than you. And btw, I found all this by punching in "left shoulder pain post op" into the forum/post search. Seems like its pretty common, but definitely keep your eye on it. Good luck! I hope you find relief very soon :-)

I've heard/read about this in other posts...Id search it on the site, and see what you come up with. Im gonna look it up right now, actually!

I saw a YouTube video of a woman who did have, what she called, VSG dumping. She had really overdone it at a New Years party: ribs, buffalo wings, butterscotch schnapps, etc... And she described a very painful several hours afterwards: gut pain, diarrhea, severe cramping, nausea, sitting on the toilet and NOTHING happens, etc... I think dumping is not as common with VSG but it can happen. I think we just have to be very conscious about what we eat, how much, how often, and not overdoing it...same sh*t, different day, right?

You guys ROCK! How stoked was I to find the Atheists/Agnostics group! Im getting my sleeve surgery soon (hopefully) and I will not pray or bless, be blessed (BLESSED BE), etc ...My higher power is alive and well and his name is Chubbis. He's my orange cream tabby cat. I put my faith in FELINE only... <3

Im starting the financing process...already approved for surgery with Dr Garcia...STOKED :-)
