So I bit the bullet and went to the ER today. I went out driving on Wednesday. I had been pretty pain free. By the time I got home I was in horrid pain. Each day the pain got a little worse. Today it was ridiculous. Burning pain in the upper left quadrant of my abdomen. Stabbing/burning pain in my left flank. Woke up with a temp of 99 when my norm is 97.2-97.4. I thought I might have a kidney infection or kidney stones.

All my blood work and my CT came back normal. No signs of infection, abscess, surgical leaking, etc. It's all muscular they tell me. Believe me, I thank God for that. But how the heck am I supposed to live through this. I feel like I'm whining. The pain was much better and now it's almost the worst its ever been. I don't know what to do. I walk! I'm trying to be active! But I'm not comfortable unless I'm laying flat or standing tall and straight!! Ugh, any suggestions?

I'm so sorry you're feeling so awful :( if it's muscle maybe there's something your doctor can give you like a relaxer? I'm not really sure... Id call him though

<3 I hope you feel better!!

Cant they give you a muscle relaxer or something. You should not be allowed to be in that much pain. Your body does not heal if it is in pain. I would call and DEMAND something for the pain.

I'm headed to my family doctor in an hour. I'm asking for vicodin, toradol and a muscle relaxer. She's pretty good about giving me what I ask for. If she says no my surgeons nurse said to call back cause he'll write for more narcs and mobic.

Hope u feel better soon. But the weried part is i woke up this morning and i was fine ate Breakfast then went for a walk. Then i sat down went to get up and got a sharp stabbing pain on my left side of stomach. Called dr but he is out......so got some rn that told me pick up pain medicine take it as needed and in two days come in if it isn't better. I have no fever not throwing up and still getting fluids and Protein in. So hopefully it is a pulled muscle like the rn thinks. But wow am i in pain.

That's what mine is like in the front. Sharp burning stabbing pain. Very pinpoint. Feels like I'm being repeatedly stung...... Went to my family doc. She gave me everything I wanted. Love, love, love her:) The Mobic is kicking butt so far. Haven't even taken the vicodin or muscle relaxer:)

My surgeon specifically told me to ask my family doctor for Mobic. I was doing much better this morning. Then I drove. Why is it that driving sucks so bad. It hurts me!!

What about massage therapy. Massaging the muscle helps waaay more than any pain reliever. The muscle may have a knot or kink or something. Possibly even try rubbing it with a muscle rub yourself...

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
