I am in so much pain. In the upper center of my back between my shoulder blades. Think it could be gas? I'm two weeks out and wondering if I'm eating too fast or swallowing too much air? Anyone have any advice?

I had that right after surgery and it was gas! I walk and used gas strips..

Call your surgeon.

Best not to get a diagnosis here.

Well, definitely call your doctor but I'm a week out and that's exactly what happens if I eat or drink too fast.

Talked to PA. She doesn't think it's gas. Going in tomorrow. Wonder if it's stress related? I feel better when I get home.

Could be gall bladder related. Good you are seeing your dr. I has mine taken out 15 years before my Vsg. However my primary pain was like I had a tennis ball between my shoulder blades

Just got home. Saw the PA. All vitals are great, only possible problem is pneumonia. Had a chest X-ray and will know the results tomorrow.

Thanks for the support.
