Woken up in the night with intense pain



Recommended Posts

Hey all,

I’m now 2.5 months out from Surgery. Recovery was straight forward. But last night I woke up with the most intense pain in my stomach. It felt like a 400lb sumo wrestler was sitting on my abdomen. It literally took my breath away. I got up and was gasping for breath, it eventually subsided after about 30 minutes. I’m far enough out I thought I wouldn’t have anything like this.

Does anyone have any thoughts on what this could have been?

Well, I don't want to go to the extreme, but I'm thinking maybe you have a really hard stool or bad gas moving through? Especially if it comes and goes. But gosh, it could also signal bad stuff too...just watch how you feel today. Maybe see about your #2 train track schedule? :) If you haven't had a big job lately, maybe it's time to call MOM? ;)

I love it when you talk discreetly! :lol:

@deargh I don't have any suggestions beyond what Fluffy said, but - YOUR PICTURES - Wow! You've already changed so much! Congrats!

I agree with the other two comments. You should definitely call your doctor if it happens again. Now, please share with us your stats!! What a difference in both pics :) How much weight have you lost?

You know what guys, I’m a 100% sure that’s it. I have severe problems with my BM’s (only going maybe once a week). @Kygirl I’ve lost 70 lbs there! I need to lose another 70 but I’m getting there! X

Thanks EQ! I had a read there, what I had didn’t really match up, I wasn’t exactly short of breath, it was that the pain was so intense I was gasping, This sleeve stuff is super complicated!

And they also could be pancreatitis, my symptoms were quite similar but they included dry heaving. Medical literature states the worst pain (save metastatic cancer which,is a Brand New Ballgame!) is Kidney Stone Colic, well pancreatic pain is 100th of a % point less.
I believe my REBIRTHDAY Bariatric. PostPain will be "a pleasant stroll on Sunday afternoon in the Park" in comparison,😜👍😜

I started taking Miralax every other day. It has helped me as I had the same issue.

I would watch the gallbladder too. I had mine out before my VSG but the pain was insane. It came in waves and would last an hour or two.

Thanks a million @Kygirl! Still a way to go! But we’ll get there 💪🏻. @TexasMommy I didn’t even think of gallbladder the pain is coming and going! I didn’t have my gallbladder. The pain has been coming and going in waves. And my bowels have seem to have gotten the message! I’ve been pooping everyday, in shock but in a happy way!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
