Does it occur on the right or the left of the stomach ? It could be your gallbladder

I had similar pain for a few months before I was diagnosed with gallstones. I found out just before my first appointment with my Bariatric surgeon- he took the gallbladder out on 18 June. When it heals I will be getting sleeved. The surgery got rid of my pain and was worth it ????

I don't have a gallbladder. . Had that removed long ago. Pain is on the central left, and stretches out. Went to the hospital last night, it got so bad. No answers.. other than it may be an ulcer.. gave me some meds to help with that... calling the gastrointestinal guy for a scope today. :s

Update??

I was told my pain is an internal hernia that occurs after surgery.

I had my gallbladder looked at they might leave that but I go in this week for a repair.

They've done a CT and blood etc... nothing is jumping out at them. Next step is endoscope, and ruling out whatever they can. Dr said it may be nerve and scar issues from surgery site. Not good regardless.

The hernias and scar tissue does not show up on scans. My dr just listened to my symptoms that ice had off and on for two months. Good luck. I know that pain is bad.

I had that same crazy pain last week. It was awful! I was doubled over and it lasted about 15 hours. I didn't go to ER but talked rinse and she worried it might be internal hernia but once the pain magically stopped I didn't pursue it. Meanwhile I have had very pale/clay colored stool last 3 days (sorry TMI I know) but I know that can be a sign of gallstones so I did call Dr today. They want a CT scan but gave to get it approved by insurance first since it isn't an emergency at this point. I read that can't always see the hernias on a scan. Ugh.

Man.. :( sounds rough. And at this point theres not much thats tmi haha.. anf ya that's what they told me as well, can't see hernias on scans.. only scopes. I have had 2 scopes and did have a hiatus hernia prior to surgery. The Dr this morning thinks a scope would be helpful for me..

I am sorry you are in pain and they cannot find an answer. I can tell you that I never had that pain again; however, I did end up having a stricture which I often wonder if that pain was related to somehow. Have you talked to your surgeon? What other symptoms? What tests have they done?

      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.
