Stabbing Gut Pain

I had my sleeve on Friday May 3rd am. It is Tuesday now and still when I sip or "eat" I frequently get stabbing gut pain. Nothing unbearable but it is starting to get slightly worriesome. Am I eating too fast? Is it just gas pains? Is my stomach angry at me? Will we ever be friends again? Anyone else feel this?

definitely had pains in the first couple of weeks....helps to eat slower and actually wait 2 minutes between bites (someone shared this advice with me when i posted a similar question). if the pain is constant, even when you're not eating, definitely call the doctor. and if you're worried, call the doctor's office anyway and ask to speak to his/her nurse. it's better to have peace of mind and they expect to answer such questions in the early stages. i had a problem with an incision....finally called the doctor on a Saturday morning and she asked, "why did you wait so long to call?" duh. she immediately provided a couple of solutions and gave me peace of mind.

Try taking some gas x (or anything with symethicone). Does great wonders. But As Melody said, go ahead and call your doc!
