Well I have been having some issues this past week... I ate a few grapes and my stomach turned.. I got sick but didn't throw up.. my rt side started hurting.. then 2 days later I ate about 3 doritos ( I know! Shameful! lol) and about an hour later my side was KILLING me! then the next day I had some tomato based cabbage Soup same thing... that night i got some burning in my throat, some coughing... Then the next morning I had my Protein shake and instant rt side pain, nausea and after about 2 hours of this accompanied by shaking, difficulty breathing and panicking, I lost said Protein Shake. the nausea got better but my side continued to hurt for the rest of the day... Needless to say I called my surgeon, they said it sounded like classic gallbladder symptoms.. (I have lost 85lbs in 6 months) and ordered a gallbladder ultrasound and HIDA scan. Both of which came back normal... Well now I'm having more issues with burning in my throat and side pain... My surgeon said if it were my band I would be hurting in the center of my chest and stomach not on my rt side.. Of course I keep worrying about a slip or being too tight but that doesn't explain my side pain.. Has anyone else experienced this? Gallbladder symptoms with normal test results.... ? Sorry so long but I'm wigging out just a bit...

oh and I have had dizziness and lightheaded spells off and on since this started.. blah!

Could it be your appendix? Are you having fever? I think that usually goes along with the vomitting and right side pain.

I get that occasionally. It took me a few times to realize it was gas and/or constipation. Moving the bowels gets rid of it everytime.

edit to add: Until I realized what it was I was downright scared....it was pretty painful and I thought it was serious. Nope....good old constipation.

Wow! Glad your feeling better!
