Help!! What's Wrong With Me???



Recommended Posts

So all of a sudden I feel this tightening and pain in my upper stomach (middle, under my breasts) and it goes all the way to the back. It got so bad I can't even sit or lay down. I don't know what is wrong, I haven't eaten anything, but the last time I ate (yesterday) I did get stuck pretty bad.

This happened before, on a weekend too. I had to deal with it all weekend until I got in to see Dr on Monday morning they did an unfill, and everything was fine after that. The pain was terrible and I wasn't able to eat anything all weekend long. I have since had a small fill

I just called my clininc, but they are closed till Monday. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? I don't want to go through this again. The only good thing about it before was that I lost 9 lbs that weekend, but so not worth it.

HELP!!

Have you had your gall bladder checked out? It sounds like it could be gall bladder related.

The other possibility is reflux, try taking a reflux remedy.

Or you could still have some food stuck and/or your band may have slipped .

Are you able to drink? If you can't drink you need to go to emergency as dehydration is dangerous.You could try sucking crushed ice as if you are swollen it will help to reduce the swelling and that may help to ease the pain .

Thank you.

I'm not sure what it was, but it went away as suddenly as it came on.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
