Pain In Right Side - Not Appendix Or Gallbladder



Recommended Posts

I have a sharp pain in my right side around where my liver is, but it's not my appendix or gallbladder. It is a constant problem, and feels like it's burning, stinging, and almost hot inside. The pain started approx. 5 days after I had all my fill removed because acid reflux got so bad it came up my nose. My general dr. did an egd test and found gastritis and a polyp that isn't cancerous. I have evidently had gastritis for several years because the last egd test I had the dr could not finish because my stomach was too inflamed (not to mention my horrible gag reflex). So this is what makes me feel like the pain is not from gastritis. My dr. put me on dexilant, but I've been on it for 2 weeks and nothing has changed.

Does anybody have gastritis, and if so, is this what the pain is supposed to feel like? I just feel like it's too much of a coincidence that the pain started right after I had the fill removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I just got banded and as soon as milk of magnesia did its majic all that pain went away, could you be constipated,? Going every day does NOt always mean you are not. If not, Dr may need to do xray or upper GI

Hello, so sorry about your complications, I know exactally what you are talking about, but for me it always happens the next day after I have an adjustment ( I have had 11 of them) happens almost every time, seems like if they have troubles with the port it happen more so, I have also wonder if it is the fill Fluid that has escaped out of the port when they pulled the needle out ....it hurts so bad that is is hard to stand upright and the burning makes you feel like something is fixing to burst, usally last about 3 to 10 days i have been sitting here and it just instantly goes away. (very weird) I called my dr and they said it wasnt normal and wanted me to come in, but I wasnt able to and it just went away. it has been almost 2 months since i have had an adjustment and have not had it happen again. hope yours gets better!

I appreciate both of your responses. My Dr. seems to think that the tubing is laying beside my liver and might be causing some irritation. He has admitted that he is stumped about why the pain is occurring, but will let me know what he thinks after he gets all the test results from other Dr.'s.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
