This week has been crazy. Sat night I felt super constipated. I kept trying to use the bathroom... But nothing. So my husband and I went to a birthday party and the pain just got worst. By 1 am I was in agony. I told my husband we needed to leave and go to the er. The pain was unbearable. I get to the er and they immediately bring me to the back. I felt sick to my stomach so they gave me some medication to help with that along with pain Meds. They helped instantly but the pain came back within the hour. So every hr they were giving me Iv pain Meds they were also giving me an X-ray and a ct exam. My surgeon came to see me and told me he was going to perform surgery to see what was going on. He preformed the surgery and found some abrasions on my bowels and removed them. This all happened on Sunday. They admitted me for observation that night. My dr assured me I wouldn't be in pain. He was wrong. Monday as they were releasing me I was still in pain. When I told the dr I was in pain she said it was from the surgery and the pain Meds will help. So I reluctantly went home. Tues pain was no better even with the pain Meds. I went to see the nurse practitioner and she did more test. Today pain is worst. I am at a loss in what to do. The pain is in my stomach upper right side. Kinda in my rib. Please anyone give me advise?? Has anyone experienced this before??

I had this pain where I couldn't lay on my side after surgery, but it will go away. While you have surgery your body go thru so much wear and tear and it takes awhile for everything to get back in place. I still have a numbness in one of my legs but I read and was told that will get back to normal because of the nerves being cut as you have the surgery. I hope this helps

Gallbladder? I had a lot of the same feelings you had for a month-when I finally broke down and went to the ER it turned out it was my gallbladder. I am Pre-op for WLS, but I keep reading on these boards about people who have issues with their gallbladder s after surgery. Good luck to you!

I have gallstones so I asked my surgeon how I could tell if I am having pain from rny complications or gallbladder pain. He said Gallbladder pain is on the right side radiating outward and pain related to rny surgery is felt primarily on the left. Hope you feel well soon!

They didn't admit you with possible pancreatitis? Hope you get better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
