I was sleeved June 7, 2012 and I was find until last month. Starting weight 230, current weight 169. I started having this burning pain under my right shoulder blade and I don't know why. Do you have any ideas what can be? I have done some research, but nothing. Please help. Thanks:)

Web MD - I posted the Web MD quote specifically because it listed one of the symptoms of gallstones as upper back pain.

Of course, the missing gallbladder changes everything!

Thank you for all the responses. I just came back from my Dr. and Gallbladder it is. My ultrasound showed my gallbladder infected with stones. Does anyone knows any home remedies for this....I don't want to have another surgery.

I'm kinda not surprised....but I feel for you. I had to have mine out 6 weeks after my sleeve surgery. It def has set me back and slowed my recovery and weight loss. BUT gallbladder attacks can be horrific!!!

How far out are you?

I am post op 1 week and when I go for my 1st post op visit to see my surgeon on Thursday, he told me he will start me on Actigall. That's a med to help prevent gallstone formation in people losing weight rapidly.

So, my left shoulder has been hurting the last couple days too. But on a scale of 1 to 10, i would say its a 1 or 2. Been feeling dizzy, even with plenty of fluids.

I had my gallbladder out exactly one month after i was sleeved. Easiest surgery ever. I was out of the hospital the same day and barely any pain.

I will be 5 months out on November 7th.
