srwright66 1 Posted September 6, 2011 Tomorrow is my 6th month surgiversary. Haven't been on here much. Busy, busy, busy. Everything has been WONDERFUL! So happy with my sleeve and the results. BUT......Since Saturday I have been in major pain. If I move or sit up, it feels like I have literally been kicked in the stomach, the pain is so bad it almost takes my breath away. I have ruled out the normal things. I do not have an appendix, gall bladder, ovaries, or uterus. No fever. So none of those things can be the issue. I went to the bathroom with no problems. The only thing I did differently was had a 6" Subway sandwich on Friday. I took me about 4 hours to eat 3/4 of the sandwich. I felt fine afterwards. I spent most of the weekend in bed. I felt tender but not in much pain this morning, but the pain is back in full force now. I don't feel sick, just pain. Anybody have any clue what this could be?

Forensikchic 528 Posted September 6, 2011 I had horrible left flank pain and it was a kidney stone. I dont know exactly where your pain is, but mine was low and on the left... it went through to my back and felt like a labor pain. This might be your culprit. Good luck!

srwright66 1 Posted September 6, 2011 The pain is right above my belly button. About 3-4" above the belly button. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
srwright66 1 Posted September 6, 2011 I know. I'm gonna call the doctor. I'm just one of those people that will wait until I absolutely have to. I hate going to the doctor. I was just hoping someone knew something that I didn't know about, that I had possibly overlooked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rootman 1,101 Posted September 6, 2011 Yes it CAN be a kidney stone, though typically you feel it in the lower back it is entirely possible that you can feel it in the stomach area. Another possibility is a gall stone. Get to the doc, perhaps even the ER if you can't see the doc right away, before something potentially ruptures and you REALLY have a problem.

srwright66 1 Posted September 6, 2011 See, that's why I came here first. I never would have thought kidney stone since I haven't been having any kidney issues. But it could be, I guess. I'll see what the Doc says. Thanks everyone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ybnormal 21 Posted September 7, 2011 I just called the Dr. They will call me back. Rootman, I will be a medical miracle if it is a gall stone , I haven't had a gallbladder since 1992. Hate to break this to you, but you can still get gallstones even w/o a gallbladder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
