eyengo 4 Posted April 14, 2013 I have not had vsg yet but that is my plan and hope at this point . I have one ore month of supervised weight loss & then should be on my way . While having my Egd the doc said I had signs of avid acid reflux. This was new to me, I very rarely had any issues, only when I was pregnant. (3years ago). He then put me on med. for this "problem". I then within a week of taking this me started having indigestion like crazy and have felt awful ever since. I also was told during my stomach ultra sound that I have gallstones in the neck of my gallbladder . I felt like crap ever since they went fishing around doing these test. I had a attach of some sort the other day while eating dinner ( baked pork & carrots ) horrible chest pain, back pain between shoulders , hot flashes, nausea, dry heeves felt like something was stuck. Horrible pain! Went to ED, they gave me a GI cocktail and zofran. With in 10 min. I felt much better. Called the gastro doc next day & they switched me to nexium. I still have mild pain on left side of chest when I take deep breaths. And after I eat. Most psin is on left side of chest, right under sternum, and left side of stomach / abdomen . I am worried that my surgeon will say no to the sleeve due to this new issue. Anyone have issues like this before or after the surgery? So frustrated & I am so close to the finish line that I'm afraid of everything going wrong at this point. :/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixbuttons 102 Posted April 14, 2013 Kind of funny you posted this today! I've spent the day at the ER and found out I have gastritis! I randomly started having TONS of pain last night and a fever. I have no idea what caused it! But I'm hoping it doesn't interfere with my surgery! I'm still a long way off (I'm almost done with month 2 of 6), but I do hope it doesn't cause me any problems! You should talk to your doctor about that medicine! I wouldn't take anything I didn't think I needed. As far as the stones go, my doctor told me if I have a gallbladder issue, the gallbladder would just have to come out before surgery. Not too big of a deal.

Fixerupper 335 Posted April 16, 2013 I have gastritis and gallstones as well. Sounds like a gallbladder attack. Mine will be taken out when I get my sleeve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
