A little disappointed with myself...
youre are so damn right. i love when people make great valid points as this. this surgery is about us. they are just not educated enough and are not motivated enough to make such a change!!!! screw them! as far as people ignoring you, thats just disgusting!!! because you lost weight thru surgery? give me abreak!!! i hate ignorant people.

PLEASE HELP!
go to the er and they will find out what it is. gall bladder is usually on the right. im pre op but 2yrs ago, i had a gall bladder attack and my whole stomach hurt but when i pressed down on my right rib, it took my breath away.. LITERALLY! i think the pain hurt so bad that my heart skipped a beat. lol. i even did it a few times after (stupid, i know) to make sure i wasnt psyching myself out. i also felt like i had someone sittin on my chest & i felt like i broke my back. horrible! it can be a stomach virus, hence the diarrhea. i was going to say appendix but thats right side too. i think only thing left may be kidney stones. definitely go to the ER tho. a dr will just send u to an er cause they cant run all the necessary tests on the spot. good luck! keep us posted.
