It was just as you're describing. I ignored it as long as I could and then finally had to go to the ER. Then I had pancreatitis from ignoring it.

Sounds like gall bladder to me!

Four weeks out had pain back side lower that went up into my shoulder on a scale of 1 to 10 it was a 9 on last Sunday. I am on the pills to prevent stones for two weeks as my doctor told me this is a complication.

Doctor ordered an ultrasound it came back negative pain has all but went away.

Everyone has different symptoms... I suggest going to your doctor. It's just a simple scan to find out if it IS your gallbladder.. then you can figure things out from there.

thank you guys. i threw up 2 times last night outta nowhere and then i felt better. im guessing that if it is gallbladder the pain wouldnt have gone away so fast. now im worried about gout though. my uric acid levels are high and until now i have been without signs, but now my big toe started hurting outta nowhere. its stiff, and tender to the touch. i have a doctors appointment on monday and gonna tell him about all the problems. hopefully its not gallbladder or gout. until now i have had no complications. i would like to keep it that way :)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
