Anyone had gallbladder issues?

Things have not been good the last week.

Weight loss has never been better.

But im in a lot of pain.

I went to the walk in centre as my doctors was closed due to staff training.

They gave me antibiotics. This was Thursday. Now the pain in my upper abdomen is so so bad. I would compare it to intense contractions in my upper stomach. Then just hurting all the time in between. I couldn't eat yesterday. I managed a bite of food and it made the pain worse. I was able to drink the first half of the day. Now drinking hurts. Its not bad enough to go to the er. So I'll be heading to my drs on Monday. But this really is horrible. No constipation. No sickness bug.

I wonder if anyone has had gald bladder issued and if this sounds like it could be that ? I've googled and I know self diagnosis is never a good idea hense why I'm going to my doctors Monday.

I lost 5lbs this week through barely eating. Its like this has been building up and I didn't notice. Now I'm in agony and I wish I could stop breathing for a minute because it hurts more when breathing in and out.

Oh man! This actually does sound like what I went through just before I was admitted and they took out my gallbladder- the good news is that you're pretty aware of your symptoms and are good at describing them
The yucky part is that you will probably have to go to the ED when it gets really bad next time- I wish I had gone earlier- I put up with a LOT of pain before going but when I called my surgeon he said to go right in-
At least when you get to the ED (if it gets horrible again) they can give your pain meds and then you can breathe. Trust me- it's worth it. - when and if you got they'll do labs and other tests if need be.
And if worse comes to worse and they have to take it out- it's an easy surgery- nothing like the RNY pain and ordeal -
Anyway- I hope this helps- let me know if you need anything- feel.m better [emoji6]

Thank you. Today I am suffering. Chills . random toilet explosion when I've eaten nothing. Feeling sick. Can't eat barely or drink. I've even cried its horrible. I am away with my kids so can't go er today. I have to drive home in the morning . drop them wrh my mum then go to the emergency room. This is horrible. I've never experienced anything like this.

I've posted about my chills and lack of apetite had no idea it was about to be a nightmare.

I had mine emergently removed in November. Sounds about right. I waited to see if it would get better it didn't ....then it was horrid very very nad and I had surgery. I hope you fell better soon.

I hope you are feeling better!

Good luck. I need mine out but I'm hoping to hold it off until February. I don't have stones per the ultrasound but my Hida Scan showed it was not working properly.
