Feeling a weird stretchy pain on my left side.

Hello everyone. I know I post a lot, but I love all the feedback and support I get.

I'm feeling a dull, yet tender, stretchy pain on the upper left side of my body. I started feeling this maybe 2 weeks post-op. I assumed that it could be my insides moving around in the void where a big part of my stomach once was. But I want to be sure.

Also, how easy is it to stretch out the sleeve? I've been drinking a lot of liquid at one time, and I'm scared about stretching it. I probably haven't really been drinking a lot (maybe 2-4 oz at a time), but it seems like a lot to me since I'm supposed to be taking small sips.

I'm two weeks post op and am drinking a lot at once as well. liquids go right through you and will not stretch your sleeve. Call your surgeon if the pain doesn't go away in a few days.

That's great to know! It's a lot easier to gulp now, and that actually kinda scares me. But I guess it's easier now because the swelling has gone down. Thanks for your reply.
