Problem? 6 months tomorrow



Recommended Posts

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. :(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
