I am having sleeve pain and I am 7 weeks out. This is a new paid. Had my check up last Thursday and everything looked fine. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Does the pain come and go or constant?
The doctor told me two things to look out for.
Constant or come and go pain but no temp possible abscess
Constant pain and high temp over 100 possible leak.

It's pretty near constant today but the previous week it has been come and go, usually hurts after I eat. Where does the abscess form? What is the treatment? Thank you!

I can only tell you what my Doctor told me, please talk with your Doctor as well.

An abscess happens when a small infection forms around the suture or staple line. It will resemble a blister-like structure. In most cases, it will go away through the bodies natural defenses. In other cases, you might need antibiotics. It is nowhere as severe as a leak.

The signal in both a leak and abscess is your temperature. if above 101 seek medical attention immediately.

I will ask. This pain feels more like it's inside my body. I don't have a temperature or anything like that.

Your Temperature is key no 101 then you should be fine but talk to your Dr. so at least it is in your chart.

What I am finding in this group is that everyone has different experiences. I can drink my 64 ounces of water and 4 protein shakes with no issue. Heck, I recently ate solid food today while doing food prep, by mistake and I am only on phase two. Other than the Oh C#$P moment and feeling full for the last six hours I had no pain or anything. While others can't even drink water seven weeks out.

I think sometimes skepticism is healthy but in other cases, we can worry too much. I know for me when I worry I ate and that caused increases in stomach acid which let to stomach pain. We forget that even though our bodies are now missing 80% of our stomach our brains have not gotten the message yet and they over produce acid. Have you tried taking a liquid antiacid?

I have been tracking antacid yes. I feel like everyone is different and everyone's program is different. I was told to try and stay away from protein shakes and I've been eating solid food since week 4. Only just now started having issues except some random nausea and dizziness here and there. Thanks for all of your advice.
