When I had my gall bladder issues I had pain from the center of my chest that traveled to the middle of my back. I was unable to get comfortable. It would start 30 min to an hour after eating and last about 2 hours, towards the end the longest attack was about 10 hours. I had blood work that showed my liver enzymes were elevated which then prompted an ultrasound on my liver, gall bladder and my pancreas. Gall Stones.... since my surgery no more pain after eating. There was no rhyme or reason to my pain, sometimes after eating a yogart, sometimes salad, really anyfood but sometimes I'd eat yogart with no symptoms. Good luck.

Too many possibilities to even guess, especially on a forum. It could be gallbladder, appendicitis, intestinal issues, hernia, even migrating pain from an ovarian cyst. I'm sure there's even more possibilities than I listed here, too.

Just wait and see what the doc says after running more tests. Trying to self diagnose, especially when even your doctor isn't sure, is just going to stress you out needlessly.

Best wishes.

Agree with Missy. You don't need to add more stress.

Gallstones are a common ailment with weight loss. Have you had an ultrasound? That's how they diagnosed mine, along with the same symptoms you have. I'm having it removed in a few weeks.

Well I've had an ultrasound negative results. Hida scan low normal results, the doctor who is also the surgeon who did my band says the gallbladder is bad but not bad enough to take out just yet. Ct scan on Monday of abdomen and pelvis. Not to mentioned he has EMPTIED MY BAND!!!!!!!
