Hello every one I'm new to this so don't know if in doing it right so in 18 months after surgery and have only lost 75 Pounds still need to loose more but I am always tiered and have started having pain on my left rib almost the same pain as you get with gall blader stones but I have also gotten my gall blader removed. I been throwing up and had diareah. The doctors have diagnosed me with ibs but I have never had ibs before I'm trying to see my doctor that did my surgery but I have kaiser and have to go trough all this hurtles to see my doctor has any one else experienced what I am going trough. I have a upper endoscopy schedule till July 2nd and that x day test with barium till July 22nd. I'm so frustrated cause with all this medicine I'm taking I'm so latargic with no energy and have missed a lot of work.. I started having this pain right after surgery and first they said it was gall stones but I had my gall blader removed and I'm still in pain.. Any suggestions.

I also have Kaiser and I am able to email my NUT and case worker within the bariatric department. I had a pain in my left side and still get the pain when I get really full. I had an endoscopy and everything was normal. I had my gallbladder removed and everything was normal. There was some scar tissue where they pulled the stomach out on the left incision site. It's not bad, I just have to not eat too much. Sometimes I do get diarrhea, but my diet is mostly protein with a little veggies. I do know that when I eat too much fat I do have difficulties with diarrhea. Go see you PCP and ask for a referral to the bariatric department for follow up. Go back to basics and see if things change. I have been eating basically protein and was doing the basics and it helped me drop about 4 lbs.

I have and what they did was referred me to the gi doctor after that ill be able to see my surgent.. I'm just in a lot of pain and I'm back to protein all liquids..

The diarrhea might be gallbladder related. Is it just with certain foods or all the time? I had mine out back in September and I know if I eat certain foods I have to go to the bathroom within 15-20min after. I have a friend who had hers out and had to go on a full vegetarian diet because the majority of foods gave her diarrhea.

I am now on a liquid no dairy diet and the diarea is the less of my concern is the pain that I get.. Omg it's almost like if they where stanbing me bellow my left rib on my abdomen. When I get that pain I can't even move.. And constant vometing, dizzynes.. I fainted twice at work. I went to the er and they send me home cause all my blood work came out good just slightly anemic and vitamin d deficient but other than that I have to wait till I get the gi and x ray test. As for right now they are treating me for ibs.. I'm Sao frustrated with kaiser. I don't know why they just don't let me see my surgen...

Honestly I don't mind if my food is the cause if the pain ill go vegetarian..

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one that has does pains.. Or is it normal.. I'm thinking I'm might have an ulcer or maybe a hernia.. Idk

I've been having the same pain with dizziness but no shoulder or other pains. I've had diarrhea and lost over 5lbs since pain started again last week. I have the pain every once and a while and now it seems constant. I'm going to go to my surgeon on Wednesday to see what he says, but I am in the same boat. My surgery was 12/20/12.

What hospital did you have the Surgery.. Im still jumping trough hoops in order to see my doctor.. My paín is constant And im know seeing the paín specialist at káiser. I Feel like an idiot every time i go to káiser cause they cant tell me What i have. Please let me know What your Surgent tells you.
