I'm not sure when you were banded, or if you have lost a lot of weight since then, but sometimes when your gall bladder is acting up you can get what is called "referred pain" - which basically means that your pain can be in a different location than where you actual gall bladder is. I've heard of people saying their pain was in the middle of their back, or their shoulder or chest area. Just a thought. But I would definitely call my doc and tell him about the pain.

You also didn't mention if you have been constipated. You really need to make sure you are able to take in fluids - so important to keeping your bowels moving. If you are, try some stool softeners, or even suppositories if you are in that much pain and think that is the problem. Believe me, it "ain't much fun"!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
