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!

:)

      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! 😞
