I am 4 months out and I get pains from my tummy going to the middle of my back. It feels like when you are starving and your stomach is burning put it goes to my back. It’s not painful but very annoying and uncomfortable. I see my doctor January 5th I plan on telling him. I’m freaking myself out like it’s something horrible. The feeling is not consistent. It comes and goes throughout the day. Has anyone felt like this before. I just started feeling this the past month.

I had my sleeve done on Dec 4th and today at my one week visit that was the main complaint I had! I don’t have the feeling going to my back but the best way I could describe it was a starving gnawing feeling although I’m not hungry. You’re right, it’s not painful but it is annoying and uncomfortable!! The only explanation he really gave me was that things are freaked out and trying to adjust and whatever I do, don’t try to remedy the sensation by eating because it will become an unhealthy habit. I know it’s not really an answer, but you are not alone!!!!! ;)

I would suspect gallbladder issues if you still have yours.

My pain is bad, right in the upper-middle of the abdomen, going through to the back. Had some pain between my shoulder blades with it that was so bad it sent me to the ER. They think it is gallbladder, even though my ultrasound only showed a slightly distended gallbladder with either 2 polyps or 2 small gallstones. They scheduled me for a HIDA scan on the 15th. Then hopefully we can find out.

Everyone is a little different when it comes to pain locations, etc... yours could be gallbladder. I would let your doctor know and make an appointment. Hope you feel better soon.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
