Icky feeling



Recommended Posts

Have been having serious heartburn and indigestion off and on the past few weeks.

I'm going to the Dr. on the 9th for a fill but idk I just don't feel right.

I'm going to have a long discussion with him.

I guess I just needed to say this out loud in a fourm.

Thanks

Your symptoms could mean something serious could be going on. Please call and move your date up if you can?

do you still have your gallbladder? I guess I was having gallbladder attacks for a couple of years but after surgey I had pain going from front to my back right at the waist line. it was causing free Fluid to collect around the port area so I had a swelling there as well. after a ultrasound and barium swallow and a mri my doctor removed a very sick gallbladder. the pain in my back went away after surgery as well as the Fluid causing the swelling. having a talk with your doctor is the only way to go. if he doesn't bring it up just mention the gallbladder. I hope you find the answers.

Regarding the gallbladder suggestions, I know two people who had emergency gallbladder surgery soon after a big weight loss. Apparently this is not uncommon. It always struck me as so unfair that my friends worked so hard to lose weight and still ended up with a stomach problem.

It's been a while, but I have an update.

Band is good, no movement (knock on wood) and all looks great EXCEPT......

I found out I have gallstones, but I have no gallbladder. lol Thats what all the pain is from.

I have to go in to have surgery (kinda) they are going to do a scope down my throat and rotor-rooter those suckers out!

But I cannot get a fill until I have this done, I am waiting to hear back from the Dr's office for a surgery date.

Wish me luck!

      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
