I hope you feel better soon.

I got nauseus with my gallbladder and the pain radiated from the chest through my back. Gall stones are common for people who are losing alot of weight quickly.

If the pain gets worse, please call your doctor. If you can't keep fluids down, call too, or go to emergency room. Don't get dehydrated.

Take care and keep us posted.

Nessa38, I was trying to figure that out myself before. Go to the main page, and to the left where all of the topics are (like, "general Lap-Band discussion"), click on one of those topics, then near the top of the page in blue it will say "new thread", click on that and write away!

everyone is right. Probably best to check with your doc...BUT, my doc. told me that if I start having symptoms like you are experiencing to back up and go to the step I was in before the one that made me feel bad. In otherwords. I am only a week out and on Clear Liquids. I will go to full liquids tomorrow. If I feel bad I will go back to clear liquids for a day or two and try again. Hope that helps. Sounds like you might need to do that if you are keeping some foods that were OK before you went to the next phase.

Thanks for all the advice. I called my dr's office this morning and the first question the nurse asked was if i was preganant. I told her i was not and am almost 100% positive im not. If i am its a miracle of god.. But off that and on to waht she sadi was proably wrong. I was pre diabetic prior to surgery and she said that my sugars are proably jumping around and causing me to get nauseaed when i dont eat for a while. So now im am soupst to get a snack of fruit about an hour before bed and she if i stop having the really bad nausea inthe morings. She said that the pain is proably brought on by the nausea so to just keep a eye on it and they will see me monday. If it gets worse this weekend i am to got to the er. So thanks for all ur kind words last night ans today..

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
