Constant right side pain



Recommended Posts

Ever since Saturday, I've had an upset stomach. Which feels acidy. I've been taking my protonix and also tums. No relief. I've been eating very bland food and drinks. I can't seem to make the pain go away. Any ideas on what this is? No vomiting, some nausea, no diarrhea and no fever. I no longer have my gallbladder. Its just a constant burning pain in my right side, where my band and top of stomach would be, i guess.

Actually, your band is more to the left. The top of your stomach starts on the left side just below your breast/ribs, the bottom is on the right side. If you still had your gall bladder that would have been my first guess because gallbladder problems after weight loss are common. You should definitely see your doctor and get this figured out though.

I had started taking a new birth control pill on Saturday. I think the irritation may be realted. I stopped taking it with my last dose on Sunday, by Monday night I felt drastically better. My doctor thought that maybe I was allergic to something in the pill and it was irritating my stomach and pouch. I feel much better today and should be back to 100% by the weekend. Strange how an allergic reaction can make you feel like that. Thanks for the response Jodi.

Happy to hear that you and your doc were able to get to the bottom of it and that you are feeling better!

I just had my band placed on Monday. It was not so bad, however, out of all the area where I was cut, there is a pain where the port is located. This is the only area that hurts. When I touch where the port is, it is very tender. To help relieve the pain, I have place an ace bandage around my tummy. It really helps and I am able to get up and down with out actually pressing in on the port area. Is this normal in the beginning stages of post-op or should I be concerned something may be wrong. I go to the doctor on Friday. Thanks for any responses.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
