Have You Ever Experienced This?!!



Recommended Posts

That is odd bc one of my girlfriends was banded same day as me (5-8-12) and she was telling me she felt that way. She planned to ask our dr about it this month.

Check with your Dr to rule out anything serious. But you have described what happens to me every blue moon. It is the most wicked, painful, sharp pain right below the left ribs. I can't sit, I can't stand, it's awful. I get this under all sorts of circumstances, so I can't figure out what it is. I went to my Dr and she said it was gas. Man, ALL that horrific pain and she says, "gas." Anyway, it lasts for about a minute or two to ten minutes and then just goes away as quickly as it came.

This may not be your case at all, just my two cents. But if it bothers you, see your Doc.

Good Luck!

I hate when people say its just gas lol how can it be gas in the same exact place every single time? I dont know, but i plan on making an appointment with my doctor just to rule out anything serious!!! thank you!!!

I get that pain all the time and I don't have a gallbladder. It's just gas. I get it a lot when I eat cabbage, squash or kale. Sometimes the pain last for 3 days.

I am going to give you another version of what it could be IF this is your pain. I periodically get a pain on the left side, under the ribs, in the realm of the port area but it can move slightly. If I get it mild I can control it by laying back, if I get it bad I can't sit up, move for a bit and help me if I start to laugh when in pain.

It feels like a charlie horse under my ribcage, the muscles can vary from twitching, gut wrentching, spasm that will come on suddenly and then can be gone. Worst time was for about an hour, then it left and hasn't been back. This pain is not gas!!

It can hit, during sex (such great timing), after I have been out and not properly hydrated myself. To fix the issue I usually eat a banana, and start to make sure I get the fluids in and drink drink drink. I figured out that it happens like a calf charlie horse..

if i keep hydrated, I do not get them!

Hopefully this is what your pain is... at least it is NOT gas!!!... Good luck!

Am I the only one that gets these pains? I never hear of anyone else...sigh

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
