Horrible aching in my belly

All of a sudden I just got this bad aching/cramping feeling in my belly, under my breasts. It's all way across, left to right. I only had soup and some crackers for lunch, about an hour ago. I had the same soup yesterday and I was fine with it. Anyone know what might be causing it?

Hot flash AND chills. And achy pain. Is this what dumping is?

Now I feel bubbling like gas. This is awful.

Yes I do

Give your doc a call - you might need your gallbladder out.

Call your doctor. I had similar symptoms for a while and downplayed them. Turned out I had an abdominal hernia and needed emergency surgery. Only your doctor can diagnose.

I get that stabbing pain and have concluded its green onions. Regardless call your doc

I'm 7 months out. It went away after an hour or so and just left me with that slightly achy feeling you get after pain goes away. I will call if it happens again though. I can best describe it as really bad period cramps, but right under your ribs.

I had my one and only gallbladder attack over a year ago. It was bad enough to go to the emergency room and lasted 6-8 hours. It was pure hell. The pain radiated across my upper abdomen just below my ribs but stronger on the right side. You should check with your doctor - gallbladder pain can be pretty severe. Or it could be something else - or something totally harmless.

I've known for 2 1/2 years that I have gallstones. I've only had the one attack but I feel like it's a ticking time bomb and it's just a matter of time until it happens again. I think I'll be having my gall bladder removed this coming Jan or Feb. There's nothing else to do in winter anyway...

I had the same pain... turned out to be my gallbladder, I had to go back under the knife 8 wks after RNY to have the GB removed. Call you surgeon right away... you don't want another attack. The stones can get caught in a duct and that is MAJOR surgery to remove.

I looked up the symptoms for a gallbladder attack and it doesn't sound anything like what I had. If it comes back again though I will call the doc.

Did you take actigal after surgery to prevent gallstones?
