I had the lap band put in back in 2013 and had to have it removed. When my doctor removed we did the gastric sleeve. I am 3 months post op. Been doing really well. For the last month I have not lost any weight at all but haven't gained any either. But for the past 2 days my stomach area has been very tender. When I take a deep breath it hurts but not bad.. there is a little pain but don't know what could be causing it. Any ideas or someone else had this happen? I don't go back to see my doctor until November and really I don't want to have to make an er visit.

Call your surgeon. Any new pain should be looked into.

I agree with KristenLe, you should be checked out by a doctor.

Thank you. I will call them tomorrow morning. Just didn't know if anyone else had anything like this

Agree, not worth screwing with, but where are you from? Seeing some bad stuff as far as follow up is concerned from the UK. I only mention this because if you help explain your circumstances better, you might get better advice from this resource. There are people here who have successfully worked through various managed care systems, so posting asking about particular plans and surgeons MAY be helpful. I'm not trying to pry into your business, just trying to help you get the resources you might need.

I'm in North Carolina USA. I have been find like I'm not nausea or vomiting. I can eat and drink just fine. I just started to get tenderness on my whole stomach area and the pain goes to my left side and into my back. It is not bad pain it is just uncomfortable.
