  1. Hello everyone. I am just about 10 weeks post op VSG and the first 3 weeks went off great I was sleeved 10/13/16. Sice the beginning of November I have been having issues with constant chest pain, heartburn, back pain and upper right quadrant pain that landed me in the hospital for 5 days with elevated lipase levels and a scope that showed gastritis and some erosions. 2 weeks later I was again admitted to the hospital for the same pain being told I possibly had a kidney stone for another 4 days. I have been scoped 3 times now. I recently saw a specialist in NYC who said I have a small "kink" in my sleeve which could be causing this and if it doesnt improve in a few weeks he will dilate it and consider a HIDA scan for my gallbladder. It has been 2 months now of severe stomach pain, constant nausea and right back pain. I literally barely eat anything ever because I feel so terrible the most I ever get down is Soup and even that is difficult. I have a constant battle getting fluids in because of how I feel and it hurts all the time. I have lost 46 pounds since my surgery and I know this isn't the way things should be. My surgeon is great and the specialist he recommended me to is also very well known but I feel very lost and upset and sick all the time and I never eat and all I do is sleep. Has anyone had any issues similar to this? I take Protonix 40 MG twice a day which doesn't help.
