Ok group, I need some advice. So for the third time in about 1 month I have been experiencing horrible stomach and back pain. It starts right under my rib cage, and then works it way into by mid back. This is excruiating, almost as bad as labor pains, so bad that it makes me vomit. It doesn't go away no matter what position I try to get in. My fiance has been so concerned that he is threatening to take me to the ER the next time it happens. I thought maybe my hydration was low, but I have been great on my water intake at least 80 oz a day. And it hasnt involved any specific food type, I am perplexed and getting worried that it may be a leak or something. I am 8 months out of surgery and have no problems until now, any ideas would be helpful. I am a self pay/mexico, do I dont have a local Dr to ask. Thanks Jaime

Thank you for all of your help, I just read the sypmtoms of gall bladder pain and I think that this may be the culprit. I will make an appointment with my general physician first thing in the AM. Is there anything besides surgery that helps?

I'm on the 30th as well! Congrats ESheldon!! Wishing you all of the best, keep up all of the hard work.

Hi ! I'm Jaime and my surgery date is April 30th, I am so excited for myself and for everyone else who is about to join this journey. Good luck and best of health to all of you :wub:

Yeah for me!! I scheduled my surgery today! I am so proud of myself, I made the commitment and am so excited to move forward. April 30th with Dr. Garcia

Ok so I am new to the forum, and have been stalking you guys for a while...lol ! I am excited and nervous to take the leap into surgery. I have contacted Dr's and have all of the financial end squared away, but I am scared to make the final call to schedule the appointment. I know that you were all probably the same way at first also....right? Here are my issues, I am not a high BMI, actually a 31, and peolpe always say that I don't look like I weigh 200lbs. But I have struggled with my weight for the past 10 years, and I think that my body has set this "limit" on my weight loss. I would rather do the surgery and be able to enjoy the rest of my life, than try every fad diet that comes along whlie I'm trying to tell myself that I'm happy. I know that I'm generally healthy, I have never had any medical issues, and besides having my son 7 years ago, I have never had to go to the hospital. So I'm here watching all of your amazing success stories and getting the nerve to be amongst the losers, forever! Thanks for listening to me ramble, but I needed to vent and I haven't told anybody else my plans...til now Jaime
