It was just as you're describing. I ignored it as long as I could and then finally had to go to the ER. Then I had pancreatitis from ignoring it.

Sounds like gall bladder to me!

Four weeks out had pain back side lower that went up into my shoulder on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 9 on last Sunday. I am on the pills to prevent stones for two weeks as my doctor told me this is a complication.

Doctor ordered an ultrasound it came back negative pain has all but went away.

Everyone has different symptoms... I suggest going to your doctor. It's just a simple scan to find out if it IS your gallbladder.. then you can figure things out from there.

thank you guys. i threw up 2 times last night outta nowhere and then i felt better. im guessing that if it is gallbladder the pain wouldnt have gone away so fast. now im worried about gout though. my uric acid levels are high and until now i have been without signs, but now my big toe started hurting outta nowhere. its stiff, and tender to the touch. i have a doctors appointment on monday and gonna tell him about all the problems. hopefully its not gallbladder or gout. until now i have had no complications. i would like to keep it that way :)

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

      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! 😞
