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.

I continued to lose weight after having my gallbladder out. Tell her to butt out if she can't be supportive!

I would bet money that is your gallbladder. Ask for an abdominal ultrasound. That is almost identical to the symptoms I had.

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?

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

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

I’m going through the same thing now. It’s really rough. You’re not alone. Hope u feel better.

My dr recommended going to urgent care as needed to get IV fluids when feeling dehydrated. You might give that a try and see if it helps.

The first month after surgery is by far the worst. It gets so much better after that. Just hang in there, and it will get easier.

popsicles, sugar free popsicles, the tropical ones. Still having a couple a day, much longer since my surgery but having to go slow because of a stricture. They please when straight liquid doesnt!

Rant away, I felt exactly the same way you did...I promise it gets better...the best thing that helped me then and even now was sugar free ice pops, I was getting fluid and it didn’t hurt I ate like 3/4 a day...good luck you got this xo

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.

Rant away,
Feeling regret or buys remorse can be a normal emotion. Take things slow and give yourself time to heal. Know that things will not be like this forever. Congratulations on 37 down.

You got this. Looking at your picture, you are gorgeous and it can only get better from here. Just try to stay positive and keep sipping. If you feel too dehydrated, there's always IV fluids. You will get passed the hard part and become a better you because of it.

I was heaving for a couple days post surgery. Would've vomited but there was nothing in there to bring up.

It settled down soon enough though and I was fine by the time I went home.

Did the hospital give you zofran? That should help with the nausea.
While I was in the hospital I didn't drink much either, I kept trying just so I could get discharged to go home. And once I was home I felt much better because I was in my own house.

Also ask for a scopolamine patch for the nausea. Stops it dead in its tracks.

Congrats on your surgery but sorry to hear the nausea is kicking your but. Hopefully the can give you something for it and all gets better.

Sorry to hear that but it will get better, I had my surgery 9/18 and it took me 6 days to feel normal again. so hang in there. I am just a week and two days out but it’s getting better every day
