Severe right side pain



Recommended Posts

So I’ve been having severe right side pain. It is not surgical pain. I can’t even walk without pain. When I lay down the pain is gone. Has anyone else ever had this pain? I was sleeved 8/27/19 pod 6. I might go to the ER because this does not feel normal. Also, I don’t think it’s gallbladder since I don’t have fever, nausea, etc. Also, I’m wondering if it’s just muscle pain.

For me that pain was from my stomach/pouch pulling down so when I’d lay down I got relief. It was gone by week 2

With my gallbladder, I never had nausea or fever until the weekend I had to have it removed as an emergency. So you may be an oddball like me!

Any pain that affects your normal daily activities, that you cannot control at home with over the counter analgesia needs to be seen by a Dr.

Thanks for the responses. I ended going to the ER. They did a CT scan and it was normal. I am going to see my surgeon tomorrow.

I also had to drink 8 ounces of Water for the contrast and for some reason I was able to drink it all at once and I didn’t even have stomach discomfort. I was surprised because my stomach is supposed to be so small now

Glad you went and got seen! At least you know all is well with your stomach and good you are seeing your surgeon, let us know how you get on/what he thinks.

Edited to say how bizarre being able to drink the 8oz :O

      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.
