Icky feeling



Recommended Posts

Have been having serious heartburn and indigestion off and on the past few weeks.

I'm going to the Dr. on the 9th for a fill but idk I just don't feel right.

I'm going to have a long discussion with him.

I guess I just needed to say this out loud in a fourm.

Thanks

Your symptoms could mean something serious could be going on. Please call and move your date up if you can?

do you still have your gallbladder? I guess I was having gallbladder attacks for a couple of years but after surgey I had pain going from front to my back right at the waist line. it was causing free Fluid to collect around the port area so I had a swelling there as well. after a ultrasound and barium swallow and a mri my doctor removed a very sick gallbladder. the pain in my back went away after surgery as well as the Fluid causing the swelling. having a talk with your doctor is the only way to go. if he doesn't bring it up just mention the gallbladder. I hope you find the answers.

Regarding the gallbladder suggestions, I know two people who had emergency gallbladder surgery soon after a big weight loss. Apparently this is not uncommon. It always struck me as so unfair that my friends worked so hard to lose weight and still ended up with a stomach problem.

It's been a while, but I have an update.

Band is good, no movement (knock on wood) and all looks great EXCEPT......

I found out I have gallstones, but I have no gallbladder. lol Thats what all the pain is from.

I have to go in to have surgery (kinda) they are going to do a scope down my throat and rotor-rooter those suckers out!

But I cannot get a fill until I have this done, I am waiting to hear back from the Dr's office for a surgery date.

Wish me luck!

:)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
