So since Friday evening I have been feeling really bad ! I have had this horrible pain under my ribs but above my belly button in the middle. It hurts soo bad especially at night and always after I eat... No matter if I just have a protein shake it actual food. I only eat lean meat and a few bites of non starchy veggies. Since it started I can only eat maybe 1.5-2oz and then I feel sick and gassy and am in excruciating pain for hours... Not to mention diarreah all weekend... I have absolutely no clue what is wrong with me... Before Friday my health was perfect with no problems at all!!! Anyone have a clue what's going on?

Sounds like you need your gall bladder out, girlie! Classic symptoms!

Call your surgeon so they can get some scans done. Needing your gall bladder out post rny is VERY common because of how they bypass the small intestine. Definitely sounds like that's what it is though.

Thanks! My hubby said the same thing ! I will call my surgeon first thing in the morning! Thank you again for giving me an answer' was just hoping it was something less serious and no surgery involved.... My house falls apart and people forget how to cope when I'm not home running everything! Ha ha!!!

I agree. Sounds like gallbladder. Have u been taking actigall 2x a day to prevent the gallbladder attack?

Well I'm 6 months post op and my surgeon did give me urisodol (spelling) a pill to help prevent gall bladder issues, I took it for like a month and a half after surgery but who knows!

Your suppose to have taken it 6 mth according to my dr.

Now I was back in the hosp.2wk ago with severe pain ubove my belly button n to the right. They thought maybe a bowel obstruction but turns out to be a incision is not healed under neath yet. N every time I move it pulls it. I still have the pain but less than it was. Thank the Lord.

Glad ur feeling better! I took it as long as he prescribed it to me for as long as he told me to so I don't know, guess they are all different... I haven't had any pain at all after the first 3 weeks and no problems or complications, but I will let everyone know the outcome!

I will pray you feel better. That' pain is no fun

Dr. Isn't in today so they have me an appt. for tomorrow morning but said if it becomes unbearable tonight to go to E.R

R u feeling better? Wat did the dr. say?

It has calmed down to some degree but still giving me problems. Had a upper GI series, KUB, blood work and right upper quadrant ultrasound done late Tuesday......Got a call this morning for me to come in tomorrow for him to discuss my results. So I will definitely let u know what he says.

Hope its good report.

Ok sorry I s didn't reply yesterday, was totally swamped! So the Dr. said that my gallbladder is fine and all my labs look great... However there seems to be a problem with my pouch... Apparently when he does RNY he attaches the intestines at the base of the pouch as opposed to the middle as most Dr.s do, he feels that it makes it easy for gravity to empty the pouch when it is straight down.. So for some reason my pouch doesn't want to empty but when layed down it does start to empty only very very slowly.. He thinks its either a stricture or possibly scar tissue where the anastomosis is. I think I'm relaying this correctly! It gets confusing when they start telling you what's wrong where!! So I have to get a endoscopy and some other thing done on Oct 17th( his first available) and if its a stricture he said he can use a balloon to dilate it, and I can't remember what he said if he would have to do if it was scar tissue.. If it is a problem with the pouch he may have to go back in and fix whatever is wrong. So until then he put me on a med called carafate which also helps with ulcers incase that's part of the problem

I'm so sorry. I hope Wat ever it is that it will be invasive to fix. I pray you will get better n nothing will have too be done. I hate feeling sick all the time. I'm feeling better as far as my stomach goes, but I got MRI results. I have spinal stenosis ( narrowing of verti braes) n its pinching my siatic verve. Also buldging disc at the top n bottom of my spine, and deteriorating disc. So my treatment right now is epideral shots in my spine. Not looking forward too that . So we both need a healing:). Keep me posted. God bless.

I hope you get some healing soon too!!!
