Gallbladder issues already?



Recommended Posts

I am 25 days out and the past two days I have had pain on my right side around the rib cage. The pain actually feels like a lactic acid build up, same as what happens when you walk or run too fast. Can gallbladder attacks happen this soon out? I am awaiting a call back from my surgeon office.

They could if your gallbladder had stones in them previous to the surgery. Did your surgeon have it tested?

The pain is more upper abdomen directly under the right breast and extends across the upper abdomen to the left.

Hope its just gas pain for you.

Id it happens again before you get the ultrasound keep a mental note of what you ate previous to that pain. Gallbladder attacks usually come on from a fatty meal.

Mine happened after I had a chunk of cheese.

I just had my gallbladder removed 4 weeks post surgery. I just thought I was having really bad vomiting post surgery, meanwhile my gallbladder needed to come out, feel 100% better now.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
