What does gallbladder attack feel like?



Recommended Posts

I'm still pre-op. Yesterday I started getting a sharp pain in my abdomen. It got worse as the night went on. I didn't have diarrhea or vomiting although a couple of times I felt like I could have thrown up.

The pain in still there. Not as bad. I'm scared to eat. I googled the symptoms and it keeps bringing up gallbladder attack. Anyone experience one?

i have. It's a bad heartburn pain. You can also have pain in your back and shoulders. Mine was so bad I couldn't eat or sleep. I went to the ER and after an ultrasound found gallstones. I had my GB removed and things have been great since!!

For me it was intense pain that felt like bad acid or gas times 50, also it radiated to my back. I had it happen several times over a few months, at first they would go away in a few hours, and the last one that sent me to the er lasted for about 12 hours. They found gall stones and just took that baby out the next day.

Thanks for your replies. My pain doesn't seem similar. I'm going to urgent care to have it looked at.

Mine was never acid or gas like. It was just aching burning pain in my side and back. I thought the first few were backaches and then had a other series of attacks after some kidney stones so thought it was related to that.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
