Severe pain on right side of stomach!

According to the anatomy picture attached, it is either my liver or gallbladder that hurts like hell! At first I thought it was the incision that is directly above it, but it's about 6" radius around that incision. I can't let my belly "rest" on it's own, or lean over, or anything without excruciating pains! Anyone know what that could be!?!? I'm calling the doc first thing in the morning, but thought y'all could put my mind at ease tonight! I'm drinking lots of fluids... not quite 64 oz, though.

I had really bad pain on my right side for awhile.

It felt better if I picked up my stomach on the right side or if I laid on my back. As crazy as that sounds. It hurt like hell when I performing the act of sitting or standing but went away when the motion was completed.

Wasnt as bad as i thought. no leak...thank God. ----I had a hematoma and had pulled an internal stitch loose. Went to the ER for some pain Meds and got some rest. (My mom fussed me for trying to do too much too soon)

Pain for better every day.

Well, I don't have the sleeve yet, but I have gallstones and my pain is in my right side, my back, and sometimes in my belly. Mild fevers too, go to your dr please!

Take care!

Go to the doctor! It may be your appendix. If it ruptures, you could be in real danger. Better safe than sorry!

When were you sleeved?

I had severe pain in my right side about three weeks after surgery too. I thought I was all healed and then bam, that pain. I asked my nurse and surgeon and both weren't concerned. It was just scar tissue pulling and there's also a big stitch in there.

It went away in about a week. I used a heating pad a lot which helped, but avoid bending or lifting at all.

If that's not it, then yes it could be your gallbladder... But I've had gallstones and the pain was in the left side not the right. And it is excruciating curl-into-the-fetal-position-and-sob kind of pain.

Definitely talk to your doctor! But I've heard this pain happens a lot to people after surgery.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
