So I was just sleeved on July 30th! And all has been going perfect. Until last night all of a sudden I started getting this sharp pain on my left side everytime I deeply breathe in underneath my rib cage. Could this be a sign of a leak? Has anybody else experienced this kind of pain?

-- I have no other kinds of symptoms. Was just curious is anyone experienced this.

Any pain like this should be reported to your dr asap, that being said it could possibly just be a pocket of air stuck in there causing the pain so it may not necessarily be something bad but definitely call your dr and have it checked, and if you have a fever with it consider going to the ER. Good Luck.

No fever but I am not getting an achey left shoulder. It's the only symptom I'm receiving that could point to a leak. But I had bad shoulder pain right after surgery due from all the air trapped. My surgeons office isn't open for another 20 minutes so I'm just sitting here panicking!

Could be some lingering gas. Hang in there and see what doc says.

Thanks! I called and I'm just waiting for a response. The pain has actually stopped within the last 20-30 minutes or so but it would be nice to find a reasoning behind it.

Definitely get it checked out... that was the first sign of my leak... the second was EVERYTHING I tried to eat or drink made me nauseous. I hope its just a gas pocket for your sake... leaks are traumatic to say the least!

Sounds like gas, that was exactly what happened to me. Mine then spread to my entire back and other shoulder.

Please let us know what you find out.

Well my surgeon called back and wasn't concerned about it being a leak because i do not have a fever and I'm tolerating my diet no problem. The pain went a way for a while too.

But now everytime I take a deep breathe I get a sharp pain that just radiates from my shoulder to my rib cage and kind of in my back. It's just odd and really painful but honestly doesn't feel sleeve related anymore.

There aren't a whole lot of other symptoms that could point to a pulmonary embolism. I'm going today to get it checked out. Thanks guys!

So Barbie they did test for a clot just in case, after labs and X-rays and a ctscan. It came back negative!! Thank goodness. Hoping it is just gas pains. Thanks for the help everyone.

Gas is not a gas. My quickly rushing in heartburn is gas, not acid, I am sure. I got a gas/antacid combo just to be really sure.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
