I had my surgery November 15th 2012, I've doing very with my weight loss, everything was smooth sailing. Until I had some sort of attack at work one night. I took a drink right in the middle of my chest came this painfull heartburn which spread out horizontally. Seconds later pain dropped into my stomach, cramps so bad I couldn't stand up straight. It was intense but slowly subsided. Within an hour I was home and all the pain came back even more intense. I believe its my gallbladder, which I was warned could possible have to be removed after my bypass. Has anyone endured anything like this?

WOW Flora! That's sounds awful. My surgery was 11/19 and I have not had anything like what you described. It could be gallbladder or an ulcer. Either way I would call your Dr. immediately. Hope it works out!

I've since been to my surgeon & now I have to have my gallbladder taken out. I knew this was possible, it very common so I found out.

Ill keep everyone posted since this is like I said a common sideaffeck after gastric bypass

I had my gb 8/10-12 and have had several attacs like yours,have been crawling at ER floor at night.

Now I have pain under my ribs and in my back and sometimes between my shoulders.

I go to the hospital 5/4 and have my gallbladder removed.

Really looking forward to having it removed,the gallbladder got inflamated and have been taking antibiotics for 10 days now.

Hope you recover and have the removal soon.

Big hug!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
