Anyone had gallbladder issues? If so what does it feel like? I am having some pain on my right side just under my breast. It is like a dull ache at times. I will contact my doctor but I hope it is just gas or something simple because I have to fly to Germany 1st week of March for work for 3 weeks. Really don't want any issues while I am there!

Avoid fatty meats and drink a freshly squeezed lemon a day and you'll have NO gall issues, I'm talking from personal exoerience.

Gallbladder pain is the worst!! Get it checked out, but if you're careful to avoid fatty foods you should be able to get through your work trip before you investigate surgery. My mother managed her pain entirely through diet (I wasn't quite so disciplined). Also if it changes from dull pain to severe pain or you notice a fever go to the hospital! You will need pain meds and there's a risk of infection.

I don't really eat any fatty foods, I am only 1 month out. Just chicken, fish and veggies. I have appointment with my surgeon March 21st, he is doing ultra sound, X-rays and blood work.

So fingers crossed!

Hmm if it's not triggered by fatty foods it might not be gallbladder. Hopefully he figures it out for you soon before your trip!

I was sleeved on 10/13/16 and had a gallblader attack on 12/07/16. Had gallstones and gallbladder was taken out on 12/22/16. Those 2 weeks I was having pain was hell, but woke up from anesthesia feeling the best I have in a while. Smooth sailing from then!

My MD put me on Actigall to help prevent gallbladder problems. I have to take it for the next 6 months or so.
