Do you still have your gallbladder? This happened to me and it was my gallbladder, so I had to have it removed.

Gastritis, my gall bladder has been gone for 35 years in February, went to my gastroenterologist with symptoms, wondered,if I had something like a stone in pancreatic duct? See it doesn't pay to be super intelligent, you just think up more illogical explanations. After testings all that showed up was gastritis and. Hector ,my itty bitty ulcer,in the antrum of my stomach. But I had gallbladder like symptoms. Now I'm on Dexilent because the weaker ones just didn't work.

Thanks for your reply Frust8.

Did you have any elevated liver tests? I had my gallbladder out 28 yrs ago. I hear you about the self diagnosis. With your little ulcer did you have pain that feels like your hungry or sick feeling or both?

Both of those, I can't eat much at a time but it feels like I'm hungry again 2 to 2,5 hours later. I ate oatmeal (which used to keep me feeling full) 2 hours ago, now I feel like I never ate at all. It is so weird, in some respects i feel like I am post surgery. All of the detriment and none of the benefits.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
