Gallbladder or heartburn???



Recommended Posts

Hi

I've been suffering from a burning tummy for a week or so. Before it came and went. I 'd eat rolaids and it would be gone. Now nothing is working. I keep sliming and I have not eaten.

Anyone experience anything like this?

What you are describing sounds like a problem with the band rather than a gallbladder problem. I would advise you call and make an appointment to be seen ASAP. This could be a serious problem but only your surgeon can do the testing required to give you your answers and devise treatment options.

yeah, Lila, I agree... you need some checking done! (do you mean you keep sliming EVEN when you haven't eaten, or you haven't eaten cause you keep sliming?) Either way, give your doc a call, and see what they want you to do!

Ditto with all of the above. Doesn't sound like gallbladder. Call the Doc

Take care

Wednesday I was in the most discofort and I had not eaten anything. So I thought it couldn't possibly get worse if I eat! So I ate a prepackaged frozen meal. And the burning was all most gone!! When I woke up it was starting to burn I ate and again it went away. very weird, as long i have eaten i feel ok

Lila i had that too. Don't know if it was the flu . I had test and they came back normal. I had a fluro xray and my band was fine. I had 2 defills and it felt better but it took awhile for swelling and inflammation to go down. Drink camiloe(sp) tea it helps the digestion system. It really works.

      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.
