AussieLady 521 Posted January 27, 2013 OMG. I just read this thread. Don't worry about a leak. My surgeon said its virtually unheard of after 7 weeks. I really hope your pain is easing. Have you tried doing some relaxation exercises just to try and relax yourself a little. Hope you get some help from your surgeon. By the way, your man is soooooo cute! You make a really good looking couple. Sending all my positive thought and love from us Aussies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kiki1196 101 Posted January 27, 2013 I had to have my gall bladder removed years ago after losing weight. The first ER doc missed it. Ask for an ultrasound. It sounds like the pain I had. Feel better!! 1 AmandaRaeLeo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
katie2686 5 Posted January 28, 2013 Sounds like you need a muscle relaxer to feel better at home. Don't be a martyr! If you are uncomfortable, say something !!! That's why there is medicine! Keep in touch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tpietrowski 102 Posted January 28, 2013 X-ray Will not diagnose your gallbladder it needs to be an ultrasound Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tigerbelle 328 Posted January 29, 2013 fyre: how are things going? I hope to hear a positive update soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lizv123 389 Posted January 29, 2013 My goodness how am I just seeing this? So sorry to hear you're hurting, love I know how scary it is. Bloodwork wouldn't diagnose a leak. A CT would show an abscess, a barium swallow would show a leak, even an upper GI would. Are you on something for anxiety? I know when my chest hurts, I freak out and it makes the whole situation worse. Keep us updated, dear! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fyre_storm 1,412 Posted January 29, 2013 Went to my surgeons office and she was PISSED that the er didn't give me an ultrasound so she ordered one ASAP which is what I'm waiting for now. She also is going to get an ultrasound of my chest as well because of the pain. She said that its not a leak so thank god for that. God let me be ok. You guys are amazing. My sleeve family is kick ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
