The two most common problems that occur after bariatric surgery are pulmonary embolism and a gastric leak from the anastomosis. It seems like you are showing at least one of the symptoms of a pulmonary embolism. Pulmonary embolism is a life-threatening condition. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/pulmonary-embolism/basics/symptoms/con-20022849

I agree. That's not right and warrants a trip to the ER. PE usually doesn't present with that severe pain; more a shortness of breath, coughing up blood maybe. But it could. That kind of pain after any major surgery needs a further looking into.
