  5. Thank you for the advice. Pain comes and goes. Sometimes it is sharp then it is mild.
  6. That sounds like gallbladder. My worst attack sent me to the ER where I spent eight hours. I couldn't stand, sit or lay down. The only position that gave me even a little relief was bending over while standing. The pain I experienced was below my breast on the right side and it seemed to radiate outwards - sort of like a bad contraction. I had nausea and cold sweats. The ER couldn't give me anything for pain because I drove myself. Foolish me didn't want to wake up my husband at midnight. He had to work that next morning. So the voice of experience - if you go to the ER have someone drive you or don't even bother going. Thank you. I still have pain that comes and goes. It is sharp like someone is stabbing me. Ugh! I am going to see if my husband will take me to ER. Thank you for the advice.
  7. Ok folks, about this gall bladder stuff, what kind of pains do you get or shall I ask what are the symptoms? Right at this minute for past two hours I have had pain come and go on my right side underneath my chest.
  8. Hello y'all, my surgery date was on 09/09/2013 and I am down 50 pounds and hate to exercise but I started two weeks ago on treadmill only. I tried Zumba but I couldn't keep up with them because of my left knee. Ugh, but oh well, I will keep on trying the treadmill at least 3x a week. So I still have problems throwing up and now I can't stomach tomatoes and spicy food. I used to love spicy food. Not no more!!! But I am still thankful to Our God for loosing fifty pounds. Start weight: 282 Surgery weight: 272 Current: 222

  11. Hello I had mine on September 9 and doing pretty good. Every now and then I eat to fast or little too much and then get qweasy. I learn my lesson every time. I weighed at 272 when I got out of hospital and now as of 11/01/2013 I weigh at 238. I feel great. I was diabetic before surgery now I am diabetic free, no high blood pressure, no cholesterol, no sleep apnea. I wish I could get rid of the arthritis but at least diabetes is not with me anymore and I am losing weight without exercise slowly but surely. Good luck to everyone and God bless.
  12. Sweettoya83, prayers going your way. God bless you.
