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.

That does not sound normal or healthy. Did you call a doctor? Has it happened again since then? I'm the paranoid type - if I had experienced something like that I would have been back in the ER asap. o.o Hope you're well/safe!

I have not experienced it before or since. Granted this happened Wednesday and since it happened I have been eating like I just had surgery to be safe. Plus since it happened my stomach feels sore is the only way to describe it.

I really think you should contact a doctor. Hope it's nothing serious, take care of yourself!

That sounds exactly like a gallbladder attack! I would get checked out immediately.. if you let it go.. the gallbladder may get backed up and you can become jaundice and very sick. My mother didn't realize for years that's what she was having and almost died from this... I'm now 6 days post op and I chose to get my gallbladder removed at the same time because I had a growth.. turns out the scan missed that I also had stones .. trust me, there's no need for panic but definitely talk to your doctor and get it checked out.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
