man don't know what to do. hurts so bad. tried 2 gas-ex tablets already and i can only eat 4 per day. just went outside in freezing weather and walked for 15 minutes. it did nothing. chewing mint gum now. will have to chew my last 2 tablets really soon. not sure what's going on. i try my best not to eat past 8pm..tonight was 2 small slices of pizza. last time this happened at night it was also pizza. if i eat pizza during the day i am fine. (1-2 small slices- nothing extreme or crazy). help ?

How far out are you? Your body just may not like pizza anymore. Kind of a good problem to have I can't handle eggs anymore. Don't get gas pain but they just don't sit right for a few hours after eating them.

HEATING PAD. Saved my life on more than one occasion.

that's the thing i'll be a year out in January. im down almost 140lbs...but this gas is killing me

Are you sure it's gas?

i think/hope so. ive had it this bad maybe like 2-4 times since surgery ..always passes with time. 2nd time though ive noticed it was pizza at night. @harlemLoser, did you put the heating pad directly on the painful spot ?

Have you had your gallbladder checked? That is pretty common with folks who experience rapid weight loss. I'd make an appt just to be sure...

I hope you feel better!

I really think you should get your gallbladder checked. Losing a lot of weight fast often results in gallstones. Your symptoms sound a lot like you have gallstones (especially the fact that you get them after eating fatty foods like pizza).

Yes your gallbladder pain can be deferred to the left side of your body instead of the right. I would ask for a gallbladder function test

Get your gallbladder checked out, I had similar problem only thing different was the pain was onupper left sude and went all the way around ti the middle of my back. I couldn't sit down laydown all I could do was walk up and down the sidewalk. Turned out it was my gallbladder I had 34 gallstones in there I told the Dr I wanted to see what was causing that pain. After surgery no more pain.

Wait what? I am having pain on my left side too and it wraps around to my back. I thought kidneys at first but this could be a sign of gallbladder problems? What can I do to make it go away? as a side note, the doctor prescribed me medication to prevent gallbladder problems. Will taking that resolve these issues?

Ree it could just be a coincidence for you but if they didn't check your gallbladder pre surgery then you could've already had issues that are just beginning to bother you because of your weightloss. I would definitely talk to my dr
