Sharp squeezing pain!



Recommended Posts

I am over a year out from surgery and I have had no issue. Last night immediately after dinner a sharp squeezing pain was in my upper abdomen radiating to my chest arm and back. I had to self induce vomit and it didn't make the pain stop! I was keeled over on the floor crawling to the master bath to get in the tub to take the pressure off. It worked and then I got out and it came right back but for longer. The pain lasted about 25 minutes. Along with it was shaking light headed, dizzy, heart racing and sweat! Anyone experience this all at once and then it just dissipates? Again I have had NO issues with eating or vomiting or dumping since surgery. Looking for thoughts on this. Oh I ate chicken breast and veggie nothing out of the norm.

Do you have your gallbladder? Sounds like a symptom of gallstones

That was exactly what happened to me when I needed my gallbladder removed. Horrible pain, I thought I was having a heart attack! Go get it checked out, I bet that is the problem.

I work at a hospital in the general surgery department and those are classic signs of cholecystitis

      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!
