Burning Pain Under My Shoulder Blade.



Recommended Posts

I agree with the post just above - don't wait - call the surgeon or go to the ER for the shoulder blade pain.

Web MD - I posted the Web MD quote specifically because it listed one of the symptoms of gallstones as upper back pain.

Of course, the missing gallbladder changes everything!

Thank you for all the responses. I just came back from my Dr. and Gallbladder it is. My ultrasound showed my gallbladder infected with stones. Does anyone knows any home remedies for this....I don't want to have another surgery.

I'm kinda not surprised....but I feel for you. I had to have mine out 6 weeks after my sleeve surgery. It def has set me back and slowed my recovery and weight loss. BUT gallbladder attacks can be horrific!!!

I am post op 1 week and when I go for my 1st post op visit to see my surgeon on Thursday, he told me he will start me on Actigall. That's a med to help prevent gallstone formation in people losing weight rapidly.

So, my left shoulder has been hurting the last couple days too. But on a scale of 1 to 10, i would say its a 1 or 2. Been feeling dizzy, even with plenty of fluids.

I had my gallbladder out exactly one month after i was sleeved. Easiest surgery ever. I was out of the hospital the same day and barely any pain.

      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.
