Sleeve pain - 7 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Hello all! I am new to this forum. I don't have alot of luck asking questions at my doctor's office so I figured I'd ask here. I am disgusted with my program, to be honest but that's another story.

For the past week I have been having pain in my sleeve. It hurts pretty much all day, regardless of what I eat. Sometimes the pain is barely noticeable and sometimes, like right now, it's pretty painful. Feels like there's alot of pressure, like someone is squeezing my sleeve. Today it has been more painful tham usual but I had a bad bout of diarrhea around noon today after drinking some strong coffee. Sometimes it feels like it is spasming.

I had my barium swallow x-ray last Thursday and nothing looked out of the ordinary.

My bariatric nurse says this is not uncommon.

I don't have my gallbladder. The pain is right where my stomach is on the left side.

Have any of you experienced this? Have any advice?

Thank you!!

I'm 6 weeks out and this is not something I have experienced. I do have pain in the chest/collarbone/neck but not in my stomach. I am in the same boat as you. My surgeon and his staff have not been helpful answering questions. But if you're in pain you need to let them know and if they don't care, you need to find a doctor that does. Even if that means going to the EE.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
