More info?: Have you had an US of your gallbladder? Are there stones? Is your pain related to eating or activity? Is it worse before a BM or relieved after you have one? It is not too long after your sleeve procedure have you talked to your bariatric surgeon. Endoscopy could ensure you don't have an ulcer or inflammation of your pouch. Talk to your bariatric surgeon
