Gall bladder symptoms can present themselves in a number of ways, including sharp back pain (that's where my pain was at). If you are concerned, check with your Dr. as soon as you can. My gall bladder symptoms lasted over 10 (yes TEN) YEARS before they figured it out! Talk about a pain in the - - - ( I mean BACK!)!!!!!

yes see the doctor. I have surgery Monday 23rd and have battled my gall bladder for two years now and finally they are removing it with my RNY Monday. Yes I too have that sharp back pain and many other weird symptoms from mine, specially since moving on this pre op diet it has been active. But Monday is around the corner for me, you call the doctor for sure

My gallbladder pain felt like someone grinding a bowie knife around under my right shoulder blade. Gallbladder contractions are aggravated by fatty, creamy, cheesy, spicey foods. Go bland until you can get to the doctor to get it checked out.

I had right sided pain in my side and it made my port stick out more from swelling. a ultra sound found my problem. I didn't have any kidney stones but I had a very enlarged duct and gallbladder showing that I had been dealing with stones for a long time. as my doctor called it, a very sick gallbladder. so don't let them say nothing wrong, because for a couple of years I had the ultrasounds and when no stones were found they said gallbladder okay when it wasn't .

I had three "normal" gallbladder ultrasounds before they finally decided to remove it. It was not normal. Was white and full of stones! Trust your body, not test results.

so how did they go ahead and remove it? Were you really sick and in pain?

I had my consult today and he also reassured me that Monday with my RNY that he will remove the gall bladder, xray and clean the bile ducts and biopsy everything to make sure. I too the ultrasound showed years of torture I have been going thru with it and that it is very angry right now. So I can not wait for Monday for sure now and get this whole thing done removed and all tested just in case.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
