Ok post sleevers so how do you know if your gallbladder is going bad? I've had some problems in the past I get a kinda dull pain in my back. I was sleeved on March 25th everything been going good today I got that feeling again. My Dr didn't wanna take my gallbladder out at the same time as my sleeve surgery. He said something about if it was infected he didn't wanna risk infecting my new stomach. So what if any symptoms do you experience when your gallbladder is going bad?

My experience with Gallbladder attacks were this: severe burning pain between shoulder blades slightly to the right, pain under ribs on right side and severe nausea that often lead to throwing up. My final one that caused me to go to the hospital had me feeling severely out of it and unable to focus on anything.

Same as Roserie, Severe nausea, pain that started in the front and worked it's way around to my back. Doctor said I was full of stones. Oh, I had no warning, that was my one and only attack.

I had a few attacks similar to what Terri described, and had mine out the month before getting sleeved. Did your doctor indicate that you had gallstones before?

Full blown attacks are horrible, yet different from person to person. Having an infected gallbladder is different than having stones. You do not want it to rupture and have to have emergency surgery. Attacks in some cases can be triggered by eating fatty foods, this was not the case for me. It would happen any time the stone moved and the gallbladder got inflamed. I happen to have a large stone, many people are filled with small stones. A simple ultrasound could let you know what the deal is. Good luck! Don't let it go too long.

Thanx everybody think ill call my primary and see about getting it checked out :-)

I guess I should mention that my attacks came no matter what I ate. I was actually scheduled to see a surgeon to have it removed and so I had already had an U/S that confirmed it was inflamed and full of stones. Some attacks gave me pain worse than when I had my c-section.

I have pain under my breast. By right rib cage and left burning hurting pain the back is that gallstones
