Problem? 6 months tomorrow

Tomorrow is my 6th month surgiversary. Haven't been on here much. Busy, busy, busy. Everything has been WONDERFUL! So happy with my sleeve and the results.

BUT......Since Saturday I have been in major pain. If I move or sit up, it feels like I have literally been kicked in the stomach, the pain is so bad it almost takes my breath away. I have ruled out the normal things. I do not have an appendix, gall bladder, ovaries, or uterus. No fever. So none of those things can be the issue. I went to the bathroom with no problems.

The only thing I did differently was had a 6" Subway sandwich on Friday. I took me about 4 hours to eat 3/4 of the sandwich. I felt fine afterwards. I spent most of the weekend in bed. I felt tender but not in much pain this morning, but the pain is back in full force now. I don't feel sick, just pain.

Anybody have any clue what this could be?

Thanks

I had horrible left flank pain and it was a kidney stone. I dont know exactly where your pain is, but mine was low and on the left... it went through to my back and felt like a labor pain. This might be your culprit. Good luck!

I know. I'm gonna call the doctor. I'm just one of those people that will wait until I absolutely have to. I hate going to the doctor. I was just hoping someone knew something that I didn't know about, that I had possibly overlooked.

Yes it CAN be a kidney stone, though typically you feel it in the lower back it is entirely possible that you can feel it in the stomach area. Another possibility is a gall stone.

Get to the doc, perhaps even the ER if you can't see the doc right away, before something potentially ruptures and you REALLY have a problem.

I just called the Dr. They will call me back. Rootman, I will be a medical miracle if it is a gall stone :), I haven't had a gallbladder since 1992.:unsure:

See, that's why I came here first. I never would have thought kidney stone since I haven't been having any kidney issues. But it could be, I guess. I'll see what the Doc says. Thanks everyone.

Hate to break this to you, but you can still get gallstones even w/o a gallbladder. :(
