Interesting. Makes sense

I think it does have to do with high fat before... That's what caused mine... Three boneless buffalo chicken wings... YesterdY was a slight episode...and I had some peanuts... Which we all know are high in Fat

So my surgeon said he doesn't think it was my gallbladder that made me in so much pain. He thinks it was some sort of gastro intestinal infection... And said if I get the pain again will do Further testing

Does or can stress give you gallbladder pain if you already have a gallbladder issue???

Congrats and happy birthday!!!

Surgery 4-24-12 down 75 pounds.

If def goes away. I'm 2.5 months out and don't feel it anymore

Soooo just got out of the emergency room. What I thought was bad heartburn was gallbladder sludge which in many cases is a precursor for gallstones. I was having really bad pain in the middle of my chest right below my rib cage since 10 pm last night. Took two doses of mylanta which did nothing. The pain kind of lingered all day but subsided around noon. Then at 5:30 tonight while I was driving it became unbearable. I pulled over to a rite aid to get some more mylanta but while in the store went to the bathroom (thought maybe I needed to have a bowel movement). Well while there I became dizzy light headed and very sweaty. I called my surgeons office and they said it sounded like a gallbladder issue and to go to ER. At the er the pain was so bad that i couldnt sit still and wanted to cry. I became nauseous and had shortness of breath. Went to ER and had vlood tests EKG X-ray and ultrasound. Turns out I have gallbladder sludge and a polyp in my gallbladder. For right now it is nothing to worry about but if I i get the pain again treatment will be looked into I also had some low blood pressure. I am also low on potassium (separate issue from gallbladder problem). I hope no one else has to suffer through this pain!

Hello, Ok, so I think it's heartburn, and it sucks bad. I've had heartburn a few times since surgery (4-24-12), and I've been able to either deal with it, or take Mylanta to fix it. Last night I had three buffalo boneless chicken wings. I felt fine, until about 2 or so in the morning. I felt and still feel bad heartburn near the bottom of my rib cage....like a nagging "warm" pain. Not unbearable at times, but also unbearable at other times. I don't really feel any other pain....no headache, etc. I did have very bad diahhrea this morning (but that isn't too unusual for me). I've taken Mylanta at 2 in the morning...I was able to sleep ok. Then I took it when I got out of the shower like 2 hours ago...no relief. Any ideas? What else can I do? Leak?

I am having crazy heartburn right below where my ribs start. It's like a nagging constant pain. I've had heartburn a few times before and have taken mylanta and feel better but not this time. Now... I did have three boneless wings with buffalo sauce early last night... Do you think that could be the culprit or is it a leak? Won't have those again. Thanks

Hey. I'm 26 and had the surgery 4-24-12. Feel free to text me. 914-584-6133.

Sleeved 4-24-12 down 75 pounds!

This is a post op concern. Like we are not supposed to take Advil any more because it's too strong or something and can give you ulcers. I know there are other medications we aren't supposed to take anymore but I'm not sure which ones they are.

What OTC med can I take for a sinus infection that will not hurt my sleeve?

I fit in the booth at a restaurant where I never fit before I dropped something in my car today by my feet and was able to reach it My tight pants are becoming lose I was able to play street hockey with my husband for a few minutes... And run to get the ball... Granted I sucked at it but it's something that would have made me run out of breath before I feel like I may want to join a local sports team one day I was able to watch my husband eat pizza and not be too jealous... My confidence is up A guy at work today said I'm looking sleek!!! I ate half a banana and got full And for a scale victory... I'm under 300!!!

I love(hate) you... Doritos Noodles Rice cakes! Stop entering my mouth...mind...

It gets better!!! You will be able to eat much more kinds of food before you know it! I had my sleeve 4-24-12 and I don't regret it at all. Down 75 pounds!

I was sleeve 4-24-12 and have never thrown up. Very little nausea too

Just go back and think about why you got the surgery in the first place. All the pain you went through... All the money you spent. All of the emotions you went through. Is it worth it to just give up and give into those darn cravings?!

Thanks everyone! Skin is holding up just fine. I'm hoping that being only 26 prevents too much sag...

Surgery 4-24-12. Down from 370 to 295 today!!! Yahoo!!! Only gone down one shirt size but overall feeling pretty good!

Same shampoo and conditioner.

Had surgery 4-24-12 and down 65 pounds. Any who's. Ive been taking Biotin regularly for the two months since surgery. About two weeks ago I noticed my hair was really greasy no matter how much or little I washed it or what I washed it with. About a week ago I stopped taking the biotin and just today my hair seems to be coming more back to normal... Do you think it was the biotin? I read online that biotin can cause acne... Thanks

Ahh. Ok. No cheezits for me anymore Thanks.

I was mad at both... That I ate the bread and that I ate it out of anger. I knew I wasn't Suppised to do it but I guess I had lost control of everything else in the day so maybe this was my way of subconsciously taking back control? I thought bread was just a big no no? Well... Besides feeling overly full and sliming I didn't hurt for a few hours Then I had some cheezeits and then a few hours later I have horrible heart burn... Taking some mylanta... Was it the bread? Stupid cheezeits or stress?
