Just got my ultrasound results back. Multiple Stones. Thank you to everyone who suggested my gallbladder! 3+ trips to the ER and not one of those high paid doctors thought of it even though my chart said I was a Bariatric patient! Thank you all so much! Holding off to have it removed Jan 23.

Hey everyone! A urgent care doctor finally said he believes I have biliary colic which I guess is a fancy term for gallstones but yet not a full blown gallbladder infection yet. Regardless he said it probably needs to come out.. and I have an ultrasound appointment Tuesday to confirm. Of course I tell my co worker and she says in gonna gain weight after I have it out. Who knows if there’s truth to that ??‍♀️??‍♀️

They haven’t even mentioned my gallbladder but they’ve done X-rays and MRIs and haven’t found anything concerning

I’ve been sleeved since 9/24/2019. To date I’ve lost about 107lbs. I never seemed to have any issues with food or anything for a while but lately for the pas few months I’ve been having bouts of severe chest pains. So bad I can hardly move. Often they are accompanied by nausea and vomiting. Can’t say that it’s what I eat because often times it comes after eating foods I’ve eaten the entire time since being sleeved like eggs avocado and I usually have no issues. This morning for example I woke up like this. I have had an endoscopy done which found no problems. Today I’ve tried taking an antacid and a gas pill and I’m finding a really no relief. I’ve been laying here in bed all morning with a heating pad trying to get it to pass. Doctors really have nothing to tell me. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

Thanks you so much! Trying to just go day by day.

Thank you so much !!! Appreciate the kind words.

Yes! Perhaps my body isn’t ready. Last week I was cleared for “soft foods” like eggs. This week I was cleared to try seafood or shellfish. Next week I’m supposed to try chicken and turkey, the week after pork and beef. The thought of all that stuff makes me want to drop dead. Honestly all I want is cold water, a fruit smoothie and fresh fruit but my plan doesn’t allow fruit yet. Since I’ve been feeling sick my doctor told me to go back to liquids.

I’m ab three weeks out and I’m having a hard time. I’m tired all the time, it’s hard to eat anything! I feel like most things sit in my tummy for hours ! I randomly woke up Sunday and couldn’t keep a thing down not even water. Speaking of water... I’m SO THIRSTY!!! The small sips aren’t doing anything and after a few sips I’m feeling a “sick feeling”. Before surgery I drank a lot of sparkling water which I know I can’t have. All I wanna do is use a straw and guzzle down some ice cold water but I can’t and I’m so frustrated! Regretting this at this point.. even though I’m 37!lbs. is it worth it if I’m feeling like the walking dead? Sorry for the rant I’ve just had it

The patch and zofran is t working. Still in the hospital and they gave me Reglan which if better. I’m having the worst anxiety because I feel like I cannot get relief. I had surgery Monday and I do how long this will last but I hate it and I’m terrified to go home

I had my sleeve don’t Monday. I’m still in the hospital as I had a high heart rate. I have barley ate or drank but I’m staying hydrated via IV fluids. I’m sooo nauseous!! I wonder how long I’ll feel like this? I’m concerned because nauseous and throwing up bile... what happens when I have protein shakes or something in my stomach? Am I just gonna be vomiting all the time???

Thanks so much!!!!

My surgery date is 9/24 and I feel like my heart is gonna fall straight out through my butt thanks to nerves. I think one huge reason is my surgeon requires NO type of preoperative fast or diet. I just have to fast after midnight. Has anyone ever heard of this????

Mine is 9/24 and I’m feeling so nervous as well!
