Whew! Me too!

Fyre, so glad you got SOME relief to calm your nerves a wee bit by going to the ER. And don't worry how that stinking dr feels and don't allow him/her to make you feel dumb. They don't feel dumb when they send you a 3,000 dollar bill for that visit. Ugh.

You don't need a psychiatrist for THIS episode ;) now, if you would have punched the dr in the throat, may have been a different story.

Feel better soon. :)

The pains still here. I did sleep. Feeling like jumping off a bridge.

I hope you get answers soon.

Obviously I'm not a doc but my gallbladder attacks hurt worse than 26 hours of labor pains did. Easily.

I will say that losing weight fast seems to cause body aches. I started having a lot if pain in my hip 4 weeks out. Had tests X-rays all looked fine. But it did not change the fact that it hurt.

I did a search on this forum and found a lot of people had experienced the same thing ( and other body pains) I think weight loss significantly changes the way your body moves and the way your muscles work. It could put a lot of stress on the joints?

Sorry you are going through this. Did you put a call in to your surgeons office? Every office should have an exchange that can make contact 24 hrs a day. Can you eat and drink normally? Is the pain constant or episodic??

I think it's muscle pain it's right under my chest bone. They took blood and and a chest X-ray and said it was all ok. Going to try and get an appointment with my surgeon on monday my pcp is the 6th.

I think it's already been said, but I'm wondering is you are low on potassium. I hope it all gets figured out! It's weird that your abdomen and calf muscles hurt. Is it any better?

Good luck and hope you start to feel better. Did they check your gallbladder? that's what happened to me. Had mine out 4 days later.

They took a chest X-ray and he pushed into my side and said I didn't feel like it was my gallbladder.

      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! 😞
