Hi all. New here. I had a sleeve done sept 2017. I have lost 45kg and happy for that. I am still experiencing pain when I eat as well as a sharp stitch like pain approximately 2 inches left of my belly button. I don’t have an appetite anymore either.. anyone else had or have any such issues?

Loss of appetite is GREAT, it's one of the big bonuses of having this surgery over some of the others! It'll gradually come back over the next couple of years but still won't be ANYTHING like it was before. Take advantage of it while you can!
As to the left-sided pain, I didn't experience it myself but have seen loads of people asking about it over the years. Honestly can't remember what they were told by their surgeons but I would lean toward scar tissue from one of the portals, maybe? Do you have a scar near there?
