Just woke up with back pain after dry heaving



Recommended Posts

Was at a friends house lastnight and had a shot of alcohol with everyone and was instantly sick. Just got my second fill friday and have good restriction but no problems with liquids. I started dry heaving a few minutes after and only air came out like belching. Then a pain started in my back and it comes and goes every few minutes. Liquids are moving through slowly but I figured I just pissed off my stomach and it may be swollen. Now this pain in my back just woke me up and I'm thinking of going to the ER. Dear god please let my band still be in place! I need guidance, and to think all this trouble just to try the new jim bean devils cut!

Im sorry you are feeling so bad. I just went through this but I was stuck. Did you eat anything right before the shot? The ER really cant help you. I sat almost all night two weeks ago to find that they cant do anything for the band. You should page you doctor if you really feel bad. You might need a slight unfill. Hope you feel better.

I ended up calling my surgeons emergency line at 4:30am I felt so bad for waking him up but I was scared! He said I must have really irritated my stomach and as long as liquids were going down then no need to come in so, here I am sipping hot broth for the next 3 days... Joy thanks for the support!

To me that sounds like a gallbladder attack. If you still have your gallbladder and if you're still experiencing it, or if it happens again, definitely go to the ER or your doc (primary care or surgeon) so they can rule it out. Alcohol can cause gallbladder attacks, and many people have gallbladder problems after bariatric surgery for some reason.

Oh I had no idea about gall bladder problems relating to the band. I haven't had any more back pain since lastnight but I will definitely watch for it the next time I have a drink. Thanks for the info!

Gosh...I haven't drank alcohol in months... but this week I've had about 6 drinks spanning over 4 days. This isn't much by any means but even 1 drink is too much after surgery.

The company I work for had a big breakthrough and we had plenty reasons to Celebrate so I allowed myself to indulge. No more from this point though...

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
