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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
