Six months out and pain in right side about a level 7



Recommended Posts

First off i think i screwed up i ate some coleslaw that had poppy seeds in it (did not notice actually my husband saw them first) and have been feeling pain since. if i am laying down i'm ok and if i dont eat anything the pain is not as bad maybe a 3 or 4 but if i eat it seems to increase to a 6 or 7 and i notice i am holding my right side below my ribs but above my bellybuttom. it has been three days i dont want to be a big baby about it and my surgeon is three hours away so i was hoping it would just pass...what do you guys think can poppy seeds cause this? should i just go a few more days and see how it goes maybe just stick to protien drinks to see if it eases up? thanks in advace.

Gallbladder? Your PCP or hospital can check. If pain is at a 7, I wouldn't wait for a few days.

Gallbladder pain won't go away with repositioning. Does it come and go? Or is it always hurting? That is the right area for the pain to be, as well as the fact that it gets stronger when you eat. Sounds like its time to get in to see the doc...better safe then sorry.

My gallbladder pain came and went. It hurt more after a meal with high fat. After about 30-45 minutes it wouldn't hurt as bad and was in the same place you are describing.

I had the exact same thing! I had a contact dull sensation in my right upper quadrant. I had a few episodes of severe pain. I went and got a hida scan and an ultrasound yesterday and wouldn't ya know, lots of stones and blockage! The ct in the er only showed sludge. Call ur surgeon and get an ultra sound.

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
