Recommended Posts

Hello, I am 9 months out, had my gallbladder removed one month out. Still have the pain under my right rib cage, that radiates to my back shoulder. Doctors do not know why... Going in for an Upper GI in a few hours. Wish me luck and say a prayer that they will finally find out what the Hell is going on....and If anyone else has any advice PLEASE share....I am going NUTS. Also was dehydrated yesterday, got 2 liters of IV fluids. Cant Eat or drink much with out being sick.

Could you have developed an ulcer? I had symptoms that pointed to my gallbladder, but it turned out to be a lot of tiny ulcers in my stomach.

I have pain in my upper right back just behind the shoulder blade. I'm only 1month out and still have my gallbladder. I've never had troubles before--and I have heartburn like crazy which is new for me. I am eager to hear your test results. I am hoping you start feeling better soon!

      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.
