unexplained pain gastric sleeve



Recommended Posts

I was wondering if anyone has ever heard of unexplained pain with gastric sleeve surgery. Could this be due to herniated or bulging discs or some sort of fracture? Anyone ever hear any info about this?

Why would the removal of a part of your stomach (soft tissue) result in fractures or bulging discs? Bulging discs can be caused by a natural degeneration of your spine, which we are all subject to as humans, OR a trauma. Same thing with a fracture. Unless you have pathological bone disease or severe osteoporosis, your bones aren't going to fracture without some sort of force.

That being said, sometimes I get a little unexplained pain in the left upper quadrant where my whole stomach used to be. I chalk it up to scar tissue adjusting. It's short-lived and not significant enough for me to even ask my doctor about it. if your pain is severe and/or unrelenting, contact your doctor.

How long ago did you have your band placed?

I had shoulder pain and gas that's the only thing I can think of.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
