January 19 it’s about a month and a few days for. I weighed 304 and now 270 although I’m not sure if that is good but I haven’t been eating much I find it easier to have Soup, Protein Shake and Water. So far chicken and tuna I can’t hold down everything just comes back up. These gas pains just came out of no where last night and I am still in pain.

Call your surgeon's answering service. Pain high in your back after surgery is gas, but this far out, that is unlikely. You need to rule out a leak or gallbladder issues.

Orchids&Dragons Looks like you were right I’m still at the ER and a CAT scan just determined that I have Inflammation around my gallbladder
Oh my I hope everything goes okay for you. Is this gallbladder inflammation part of the surgery or a preexisting condition that flared up ?

I have never had any issues before with my gallbladder until now so that’s weird definitely has to be part of the surgery

Well I got my gallbladder removed last night 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’m just glad it’s over with. Apparently it was inflamed and infected whatever that means but they say it’s normal for this to happen since I lost 34 pounds in almost 5 weeks. Thank you again @orchids&dragons for the advice I have been ignoring this pain for over a week thinking it was normal simply because I didn’t want to bother or annoy my doctor with stupid questions.

I'm so glad that your ordeal is over. BTW, I'm scheduled to have my gallbladder removed on Wednesday, which is why I recognized your symptoms! Hope you feel awesome soon! Don't worry about annoying your doc! That's what he's here for!

Wow 😲 I am glad I came on here when I did then. It really does help especially when you have others experiencing the same or going through the same things. Good luck with your gallbladder removal and hope you have a speedy recovery ☺️

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
