Sharp squeezing pain!



Recommended Posts

I am over a year out from surgery and I have had no issue. Last night immediately after dinner a sharp squeezing pain was in my upper abdomen radiating to my chest arm and back. I had to self induce vomit and it didn't make the pain stop! I was keeled over on the floor crawling to the master bath to get in the tub to take the pressure off. It worked and then I got out and it came right back but for longer. The pain lasted about 25 minutes. Along with it was shaking light headed, dizzy, heart racing and sweat! Anyone experience this all at once and then it just dissipates? Again I have had NO issues with eating or vomiting or dumping since surgery. Looking for thoughts on this. Oh I ate chicken breast and veggie nothing out of the norm.

That does not sound normal or healthy. Did you call a doctor? Has it happened again since then? I'm the paranoid type - if I had experienced something like that I would have been back in the ER asap. o.o Hope you're well/safe!

I have not experienced it before or since. Granted this happened Wednesday and since it happened I have been eating like I just had surgery to be safe. Plus since it happened my stomach feels sore is the only way to describe it.

I really think you should contact a doctor. Hope it's nothing serious, take care of yourself!

Do you have your gall bladder?

My thought exactly... gallbladder maybe?

That sounds exactly like a gallbladder attack! I would get checked out immediately.. if you let it go.. the gallbladder may get backed up and you can become jaundice and very sick. My mother didn't realize for years that's what she was having and almost died from this... I'm now 6 days post op and I chose to get my gallbladder removed at the same time because I had a growth.. turns out the scan missed that I also had stones .. trust me, there's no need for panic but definitely talk to your doctor and get it checked out.

      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.
