Just curious to know how many of you suffer from this unGodly thing as I do? I am currently 8mo post op and everything seems to be going wonderful BUT suddenly I've been having this terrible upper back pain (nothing, not even drugs makes go away) and flank pain. Oddly enough back pain is more dominate than the other. Hopefully ill get this checked out today. But like I said, just curious to know how many of you suffer from this as well.

I only had mild discomfort just under my ribs on right side. I just had it removed last Thursday. I heard the attacks were painful. Go get it checked. You probably have gallstones. :(

Before i got mine removed last month i would always have a dull right side pain. Never had a gallbladder attack. Test showed i had sludge in my gallbladder. The sludge would of turned to stones if i didn't have it taken out. My gallbladder was also fused to my liver. Surgeon had to burn it off.

I had my RNY 4/9/12 and my GB removed 6/26/12... I had a really bad attack one day, very bad pain under ribs. My GB was loaded with stones. Since it was only 10 wks post RNY, obviously I had the stones way before RNY. For those of you who are pre-RNY, I would get your GB checked out and while they are in there remove it as well. Its saves time on another surgery.

Thanks ladies for the replies. Ill be having an ultrasound done next Tuesday. I had my gallbladder checked just weeks before my surgery and everything was fine or so they said. Dr said that even though it looks fine, it may not be functioning fine and we can do a hida scan after the us if needed. I have not tried the med actigal. I guess my current dr is almost positive it's no good now. So for now, I guess we wait and see what the tests show next week.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
