2muchfun 8,927 Posted March 28, 2014 Your symptoms could mean something serious could be going on. Please call and move your date up if you can? 1 Bandista reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrydumont46 1,954 Posted March 28, 2014 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. 2 Bandista and 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JustWatchMe 7,117 Posted March 29, 2014 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. 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

txflea 63 Posted May 9, 2014 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! 1 2muchfun reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
