Last Monday I had pain that went up to my left shoulder when I would eat or drink. Called the doctor and they were not overly concerned. It seemed to go away. Now today when I eat I have stomach pain. It feels like the stomach is contracting and cramping. I cant tell if it is the stomach bug or something is wrong. I have no fever or any other symptom.s of either a leak or the stomach bug. I am 3 months post ob today.

Hi Hon,

well from what I have gone through and from what I had read and gathered about this subject it could be gallbladder issues. Pain after eating is one sign, pain in the abdomen that radiates on right and or shoulder is another. Unfortunately, gallbladder issues and gallbladder stones are common after WLS.

Could also be gas pain related. Whatever might be the case, see a doctor as soon as possible so it won't get worse and you can get some professional answers. Please don't delay this and get help.

Good luck.

Hugs,

Rita

I plan on calling tomorrow. I do not have a hall bladder so that can't be it.
