Is it really gas. . . or something else

[butterfly 0]

One day while I was as town I had what I thought was a major gas attack. . . I hurt so bad for about an hour I thought I was dyeing. . . .well today it happened again. . .this time I was throwing up heaving. . . it felt like gas pains so bad I was going to pop. . . I couldn’t stand to touch my stomach especially the right side. . . this lasted this time around 2 hours. . . after I started heaving to throw up It simple shut off like a switch. . .. could this be something else like maybe a gallbladder attack. . .I have health insurance but barrowed the money for my sleeve because they wouldn’t pay. . . I am so afraid that if anything happens to me now that they will blame the sleeve and not pay for anything. . . can that happen. . . ? ? ? Thanks for everything fellow sleevers!

I would be on the safe side and Go to the doctor. i know that you has a gall blatter as well as an appendix on the right side the ther gallblatter will attack around the lower rib area on the right and the appendix will be painful around your belly button area. You at least need to get a doctors opinion on it.. It wouldn't hurt to call your baratric doc and get his 2 cents on it either.. good luck and please keep us posted

When you were explaining your symptoms I was thinking Gallbladder. I had stones and it sounds just like what I had. You should go in and get it checked out. It is such a painful thing to go thru. Good Luck and take care of yourself!

How close to when you ate does the pain happen?

Sounds like gallbladder to me too - which does happen commonly after rapid weight loss.

Seems a lot like the gall bladder attacks I had before having it removed. I would check with the doctor b/c it seems too intense for gas pains.

Call your surgeon and see about getting it checked out asap.. I hurt off and on for a week and thought it was gas pains. It wasn't instead it was a tiny little leak causing all the problems. Well that and pneumonia! If your stomach is getting tender during these attacks get it looked at!! It may very well be galstones if so your insurance should still cover any medical needs..
