Anyone experience sharp pain rhs of back in the middle? Symptoms I read about gallstones say pain is usually in abdomen. I have sharp pain in the middle right side of my back. Feels just like a kidney stone (severe sharp pain)

Gall bladder symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways, including sharp back pain (that's where my pain was at). If you are concerned, check with your Dr. as soon as you can. My gall bladder symptoms lasted over 10 (yes TEN) YEARS before they figured it out! Talk about a pain in the - - - ( I mean BACK!)!!!!!

yes see the doctor. I have surgery Monday 23rd and have battled my gall bladder for two years now and finally they are removing it with my RNY Monday. Yes I too have that sharp back pain and many other weird symptoms from mine, specially since moving on this pre op diet it has been active. But Monday is around the corner for me, you call the doctor for sure

My gallbladder pain felt like someone grinding a bowie knife around under my right shoulder blade. Gallbladder contractions are aggravated by fatty, creamy, cheesy, spicey foods. Go bland until you can get to the doctor to get it checked out.

I had right sided pain in my side and it made my port stick out more from swelling. a ultra sound found my problem. I didn't have any kidney stones but I had a very enlarged duct and gallbladder showing that I had been dealing with stones for a long time. as my doctor called it, a very sick gallbladder. so don't let them say nothing wrong, because for a couple of years I had the ultrasounds and when no stones were found they said gallbladder okay when it wasn't .

I had three "normal" gallbladder ultrasounds before they finally decided to remove it. It was not normal. Was white and full of stones! Trust your body, not test results.

so how did they go ahead and remove it? Were you really sick and in pain?

I had my consult today and he also reassured me that Monday with my RNY that he will remove the gall bladder, xray and clean the bile ducts and biopsy everything to make sure. I too the ultrasound showed years of torture I have been going thru with it and that it is very angry right now. So I can not wait for Monday for sure now and get this whole thing done removed and all tested just in case.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
