This week has been crazy. Sat night I felt super constipated. I kept trying to use the bathroom... But nothing. So my husband and I went to a birthday party and the pain just got worst. By 1 am I was in agony. I told my husband we needed to leave and go to the er. The pain was unbearable. I get to the er and they immediately bring me to the back. I felt sick to my stomach so they gave me some medication to help with that along with pain Meds. They helped instantly but the pain came back within the hour. So every hr they were giving me Iv pain Meds they were also giving me an X-ray and a ct exam. My surgeon came to see me and told me he was going to perform surgery to see what was going on. He preformed the surgery and found some abrasions on my bowels and removed them. This all happened on Sunday. They admitted me for observation that night. My dr assured me I wouldn't be in pain. He was wrong. Monday as they were releasing me I was still in pain. When I told the dr I was in pain she said it was from the surgery and the pain Meds will help. So I reluctantly went home. Tues pain was no better even with the pain Meds. I went to see the nurse practitioner and she did more test. Today pain is worst. I am at a loss in what to do. The pain is in my stomach upper right side. Kinda in my rib. Please anyone give me advise?? Has anyone experienced this before??

I had this pain where I couldn't lay on my side after surgery, but it will go away. While you have surgery your body go thru so much wear and tear and it takes awhile for everything to get back in place. I still have a numbness in one of my legs but I read and was told that will get back to normal because of the nerves being cut as you have the surgery. I hope this helps

Oh wow! Oh yes this needs to be seen too, that's too long with those symptoms. You may need a second opinion

Gallbladder? I had a lot of the same feelings you had for a month-when I finally broke down and went to the ER it turned out it was my gallbladder. I am Pre-op for WLS, but I keep reading on these boards about people who have issues with their gallbladder s after surgery. Good luck to you!

I have gallstones so I asked my surgeon how I could tell if I am having pain from rny complications or gallbladder pain. He said Gallbladder pain is on the right side radiating outward and pain related to rny surgery is felt primarily on the left. Hope you feel well soon!

They didn't admit you with possible pancreatitis? Hope you get better soon.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
