What Causes Sporadic Severe Abdominal Pain Post Gastric Sleeve Surgery?
I have had gastric sleeve 2 1/2 years ago lost 77lbs in that time. I have had sporadic episodes with severe abdominal pain where I went to ER on two occasions . Now have figured out severe pain is relieved by 15 minutes of laying on left side. But is coming back more frequently.they have done cat scan. Ultra sound all blood tests but all came back clear? What else should I ask for.

Hello.
An upper GI endoscopy may be required to look for any abnormalities that can be corrected. I am afraid there are a few undesired side effects of the surgery and you seem to be experiencing one of them.
Best wishes
