So I am 10 weeks out and just after I eat I am doubled over in pain. In addition I also get pain on my right side. This is progressively gotten worse. I then developed both right side and left side flank pain which was traveling to my pelvic area.

My pain got so bad I headed to the ER for some relief. My surgeon was consulted and the thought might be gallbladder related. After a cat scan with contrast, it was inconclusive. Two other thoughts were kidney stones (negative) and/or having a separate ulcer.

I left about in the same was as I arrived. They put me on a Rx that may help, if I have an ulcer. Now I am going to have a "hide a scan" ???). Does anyone have / had anything similar or had that type of scan. All I really know it that it is done in nuclear medicine.

I am having major regret that I had the surgery. I have more problems now then before I had surgery.

A hida scan watches radioactive material move through your digestive system. My goodness, hope they figure it out ????

And don't regret your surgery! It's tough now, but there's a light at the end of your tunnel ????

I had "buyers remorse" for quite a while. It does get better. I found some of what triggered my pain was certain foods. I eliminated dairy for a while. I hope you find out what is going on so you don't regret it!

I'm sorry you are having so much trouble! It sounds like kidney stones to me. Maybe follow up with a urologist? I have LOTS of kidney stones (before the surgery) and in fact, passed a 4mm stone less than 48 hours after my surgery (lucky me). Also, the "inconclusive" test doesn't tell you much. I think I would follow up with some specialists.

the hidascan is specifically for gallbladder. I had abdominal pain for almost 10 years with multiple negative ultrasounds of GB and kidneys, uterus, etc. before someone was smart enough to send me for this scan. It measures the contractility of your GB. I had no stones, just a very abnormal GB. At surgery I was told it had previously ruptured in 3 different places! Since GB problems are very common when losing weight (esp if you are doing low-fat) the hidascan is very important to have done.

Well finally I have surgery scheduled for next Thursday yea! Hopefully this will resolve the problems. However I'm now having pain/burning in my lower left quadrant. This is pretty constant. In addition to the gallbladder surgery they are going to do an EGD while they have me sedated.

@@Padraigm613, so they did finally decide it was gallbladder issues?
