I was sleeved 2011 I may have developed a leak in 2017

My first several years after surgery went without a hitch.

I noticed my ability to eat more grew with time.  Still never to the point of prior to surgery.  I have kept between 100 and 150 off without any dieting or major complications till today.

At 3am this morning I awoke with severe pain in my left rear shoulder-  it has been growing all day.  

I am going to the dr at 4pm and see what they say.  But  I am hoping this is not related to my VSG but it meets some of the symptons.  I am hoping this is just an overeaction on my part and that its just a unrelated muscle pain or something.

Left shoulder pain sounds more like a heart attack than stomach issues and especially a leak this far out from surgery. What specifically lead you to believe you have a leak?

Dr does not suspect heart, but thinks a tear is likely sending me to x-ray first and if that confirm then CT scan.

I hope it's nothing serious. Let us know when you find out. Prayers!

Very glad you are going in. Heart attack and gallbladder pain is what pops into my head when I read that. I am so glad that your post included that you were seeing your doc at 4. Hope everything is Ok.

Thinking of you and hoping all went well at your doctor appointment.  

I hope everything is ok. I have no idea why you would would make a leap and think this is a leak, though. The chances of a lwak at 6 years are worse than winning Powerball.

Hope you are soon feeling better - glad you are seeing the doc asap!  I'm no doctor (tho I did dissect a human cadaver in pre-med anatomy class, LOL!), but felt I should point out that the left rear shoulder is a llloonnngg way away from the stomach. Like: lungs, heart, liver, diaphragm, ribs, spine, and a lot of muscles distance away. Muscle problem, heart problem, pulmonary embolism, pinched nerve... I would think any of these would be more likely than a leak, with the location/symptoms you describe. Good luck, and keep us posted!

I hope you guys are correct.  About 8 months back I had a similar pain, which turned out to be a tear in my intestine.  It healed on it's own.   I have not yet heard back from Dr.

A tear in your intestine?  What do you eat?  Nails?  LORDY!  Really, though, I hope you're ok.
