Pain Lower Right Side Back



Recommended Posts

I keep getting these shooting pains in my lower right side of my back. Please tell me I just slept wrong. I googled it and and some of the problems are dehydration and kidney stones. Any have this? I was six weeks out yesterday. I thougt I was drinking plenty of Water. I get in usually 60- 80oz of water a day and that doesn't count the Protein Shakes and other things that include liquid. I had my eggs this morning so I'm waiting to drink. I will just drink all day and see if it goes away..

Funny you asked that question...I have had the same kind of pain. I thought the same thing, maybe I slept wrong...But I got a little worried last night. I keep thinking im going to develop a leak or something & have to have surgery again. Mine is more on my side than in my back...Im hoping its the incision line healing & maybe pulling a little!! I am 4weeks out today. If anybody has experienced this please post!! Thanks :)

Could be gallbaldder. If it continues you need to call your doctors, regardless what it is. I had mine out 7 weeks after my sleeve surgery.

I dont have a gallbladder! Had mine out 12 yrs ago! I dont think it would hurt in the lower part of your side..but I guess anything is possible

Then yep, probably isn't gallbladder pain for you. ;-). Is it any better/worse as the day progresses?

Maybe trapped gas? Have you tried gasX strips?

It did get better. I drank 2 16oz this morning and I'm on my 3rd. I hope it doesn't come back. I did go back to work yesterday for the first time maybe I didn't drink as much as I usually do. I don't have any pain at all. thanks for asking.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
