I was cleaning and i picked up something and went to put it on the floor. As i sat it down i heard popping noises from my stomach. immediately following i had the craziest urge to use the bathroom. and omg it was the most horrible thing i smelled before. now i am light headed and nauseous. Should i be worried. I called the doc and i am waiting for a call back. Has this happened to anyone before.

Wow - wish I had something to tell you - no idea what that was - a call to the doctor was the right thing - let us know how you are and what the doc says.

Doesn't sound good. I don't want to speculate but I will pray. If yoou do not get a return call, call them back and then the next step would be the ER.

Praying that all is well.

Are you saying you heard pop, pop, pop from kinda far inside? Did it hurt under your ribcage? When you had to go, was it solid, either followed by mushy or liquidy or gas?

If no pain you may have just pushed a bit of a blockage, er, on through. It could really smell bad because it's mostly protien.

If it were really multicolored, mucousy etc it could be a bigger problem. The pop could be an infection opening up - like a diberticulitis cyct - which means your infection drained, but now you have to deal with that.

Hope all is well. If you are running a fever or your tummy hurts you should def not wait on your doctor. Don't wait too long anyway or you will end up in an after hour clinic at alot more expense.

it was a Blockage of poop. (embarrassing) and when I bent over It moved lol. and they said the Light headedness and nausea was just coincidental. But I feel ok thank you guys. I was worried I popped the incisions. Breathing easier

OMG thats too ironic - check out my post from this morning. I basically have the same thing but it hasn't budged yet. I have a heating pad wrapped around my tummy now...but mine hurts bad, cause its keeping gas from passing.

I am suprised they told u the lightheadedness was coincidental - moving a blockage can do that.

      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! 😞
