so I sucked it up and went to the ER for my weird pain (right sides) 12 days post op. Ended up having a cat scan with contrast. Which showed...nothing. So that's a good thing, and a sigh of relief. The pain remains a mystery and I have a follow up at my clinic this week.

i did some reading online and found several reports of VSG patients who experienced very similar pain, though on the left side of the abdomen. The left side is typically where the rest of the stomach is removes after the sleeve is made. They said it took about 6 weeks for that pain to go away. 

An interesting journey so far!

I'm glad you went in to have it checked out, just to be on the safe side.   I hope the pain subsides soon!
