Frustrated

I have not had vsg yet but that is my plan and hope at this point . I have one ore month of supervised weight loss & then should be on my way . While having my Egd the doc said I had signs of avid acid reflux. This was new to me, I very rarely had any issues, only when I was pregnant. (3years ago). He then put me on med. for this "problem". I then within a week of taking this me started having indigestion like crazy and have felt awful ever since. I also was told during my stomach ultra sound that I have gallstones in the neck of my gallbladder . I felt like crap ever since they went fishing around doing these test. I had a attach of some sort the other day while eating dinner ( baked pork & carrots ) horrible chest pain, back pain between shoulders , hot flashes, nausea, dry heeves felt like something was stuck. Horrible pain! Went to ED, they gave me a GI cocktail and zofran. With in 10 min. I felt much better. Called the gastro doc next day & they switched me to nexium. I still have mild pain on left side of chest when I take deep breaths. And after I eat. Most psin is on left side of chest, right under sternum, and left side of stomach / abdomen . I am worried that my surgeon will say no to the sleeve due to this new issue. Anyone have issues like this before or after the surgery? So frustrated & I am so close to the finish line that I'm afraid of everything going wrong at this point. :/

Kind of funny you posted this today! I've spent the day at the ER and found out I have gastritis! I randomly started having TONS of pain last night and a fever. I have no idea what caused it! But I'm hoping it doesn't interfere with my surgery! I'm still a long way off (I'm almost done with month 2 of 6), but I do hope it doesn't cause me any problems!

You should talk to your doctor about that medicine! I wouldn't take anything I didn't think I needed. As far as the stones go, my doctor told me if I have a gallbladder issue, the gallbladder would just have to come out before surgery. Not too big of a deal. :)

I have gastritis and gallstones as well. Sounds like a gallbladder attack. Mine will be taken out when I get my sleeve
