I started having sharp nagging back pain Monday.. Right in the middle of my back right where my rib cage stops.. I was 3 weeks post op Tuesday..I'm not nauseous, or throwing up, no fever, and have no trouble with eating or drinking so with it being a holiday I didn't call my dr.. I called today and he called right back and says it sounds like gallstones??? That women that lose weight fast are at higher risk for it to happen.. I've last 30 pds since surgery.. At first I was worried about a leak but he said it didn't sound it was a leak bc of lack of symptoms and that he wants me to get a ultrasound ASAP to see for the gallstones.. Has anyone else experienced this 3 weeks postop?? I'm pretty scared and just want to here others experience.. Thanks

I've read alot of posts where people had to get their gallbladder removed soon after having WLS. Mine was already out, but my surgeon said he always removes them at while he's in there just so the patient doesn't have to get cut again. Hope everything turns out well. Good luck!

I was sleeved 12/13, Icy Hot has been my lover the past two days. My back is killing me but I don't have a gallbladder. I have no other symptoms though so I'm not worried, I'm guessing it has to do with lack of calories, energy and weight changes. My doc says, We've got our bodies really confused! It will pass but it never hurts to talk to YOUR doc!

I had my gallbladder removed a couple of years ago (pre-surgery)- I had pain and heartburn, as well as right shoulder pain. I would go to your dr and ask for an ultrasound.

I wish you the best. My recovery from gallbladder surgery was much better than with the sleeve. You'll feel so much better without it!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
