Horrible aching in my belly



Recommended Posts

All of a sudden I just got this bad aching/cramping feeling in my belly, under my breasts. It's all way across, left to right. I only had Soup and some crackers for lunch, about an hour ago. I had the same soup yesterday and I was fine with it. Anyone know what might be causing it?

Hot flash AND chills. And achy pain. Is this what dumping is?

Do you have your gallbladder?

Regardless you should give your doc a call!

Give your doc a call - you might need your gallbladder out.

Call your doctor. I had similar symptoms for a while and downplayed them. Turned out I had an abdominal hernia and needed emergency surgery. Only your doctor can diagnose.

I'm 7 months out. It went away after an hour or so and just left me with that slightly achy feeling you get after pain goes away. I will call if it happens again though. I can best describe it as really bad period cramps, but right under your ribs.

I had my one and only gallbladder attack over a year ago. It was bad enough to go to the emergency room and lasted 6-8 hours. It was pure hell. The pain radiated across my upper abdomen just below my ribs but stronger on the right side. You should check with your doctor - gallbladder pain can be pretty severe. Or it could be something else - or something totally harmless.

I've known for 2 1/2 years that I have gallstones. I've only had the one attack but I feel like it's a ticking time bomb and it's just a matter of time until it happens again. I think I'll be having my gall bladder removed this coming Jan or Feb. There's nothing else to do in winter anyway...

I had the same pain... turned out to be my gallbladder, I had to go back under the knife 8 wks after RNY to have the GB removed. Call you surgeon right away... you don't want another attack. The stones can get caught in a duct and that is MAJOR surgery to remove.

I looked up the symptoms for a gallbladder attack and it doesn't sound anything like what I had. If it comes back again though I will call the doc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
