Gallstones

[Demi2 2]

Three days ago I had the worst stomach pain mostly on my left side and in my back. It was the worst pain I have ever felt in my life. I couldn't hardly walk or lay down it felt like it would never end. So I went to emergency and the doctor said I have gallstones. I called my surgeon and he has me coming in to see him on Wednesday. The problem is the pain is still there not as back because I have been taking vicodin around the clock and really bad headaches that have not gone away. Help!! I have heard you vmcan get gallstones from rapid weight loss. Has anyone else experience this? I am now 5 months post-op and so happy for the 42 pound loss bit the pain is crazy!!

Happened to me, but I was lucky to have had it caught before it became a problem. I tried to avoid it but it was soon understood that my gallbladder would have to be removed.

When I had the my sleeve my DR. removed my gallbladder at the same time so I would have that problem because I had a few problems with the lap band and getting gallstones...

I had my gallbladder removed about 13 years ago so it wasn't a problem for me post-sleeve. Just wanted to say that it truly is the worst pain ever. I'm a mom of two girls and I would rather go through labor again than have gallstone pain. Sorry, you will feel better after you have it surgically removed. Good luck with everything.

I wanted my doc to remove mine as well but he said I did not have to. I do worry about that happening to me He did put me on Actigal 300mg, 2X a day, for the next six months. He said this is what he does for his patients and that works thus far. My PCP thought his method of treatment was ok. I take them faithfully. Really hope you will feel better!!!

I'm hoping for my doctor to just give me medication and it works. If Not then it does sound like surgery will be in my future again. I don't min though because I never want to feel that pain again.

M2G.... I told my husband the same thing. I would rather go through childbirth again then go through that.

What about the headaches? Did anyone experience them and what did you do to get relief?

My doctor scheduled me for surgery to remove my gallbladder July 3rd. I'm a little nervous.
