Sleeve pain left side

Here's my story with my gastric sleeve pain if any1 can help. I'm still in intermittent gastric cramping pain on the left side under the rib cage. I had my gallbladder removed. I'm still in pain and wonder if this could be because of the stomach muscle. Sometimes I regret having the surgery and I was wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone.

Ugh! I woke up today with the exact same feeling! It's like I have a constant stitch under my rib cage/gut area on the left. It helps if I apply pressure but crikey it hurts!
I'm thinking it might be a few things (since I also have no gallbladder and it's located on the right side).
1. A leak - I'm 4 days out and I caved and made a scrambled egg last night which I chewed on like there was no tomorrow but I also added a tiny amount of Parmesan to get some flavour. Have I over done it and dropped a staple?
2 - gas - is it just a pocket of stuck gas from sleeping overnight?
3 - adhesions....surely they wouldn't have formed so quickly already, but also a possibility

If it doesn't ease by tomorrow I'll be calling the surgeons office for some advice. Aside from this pinching pain I actually feel fabulous. My port sites are fine, I've been tolerating my liquids (and the cheeky egg!) no vomiting, nothing that would suggest I have any complication. I even went out yesterday and clocked my 10k steps.

Super frustrating! I don't have time for complications! Haha!
