I think I am having gallbladder problems but I am only 3 1/2 weeks out from surgery.....



Recommended Posts

1. Is this possible?

2. Should I call my surgeon?

3. Am I just a big baby?

I'm not having attacks yet but I have this stitch in my side that showed up a few days before Christmas. I was actually feeling really good up until that point. Now I don't know what it is or if I should be concerned about this nagging pain?

I'd call. Better to be safe, imo.

It’s always best to check with your Dr when you have unexplained pain

Possible? Yes. Likely? Prolly not. From what I understand the pain from a gallbladder is excruciating! You'd be in WAY more pain than you say you are.

My gallbladder attacks felt like heart attacks then travelled to my stomach then under my ribs to my back. After it would feel Like I threw my back out. I was told that was a typical attack and I had ten of them. You may have inadvertently pulled a muscle in your side, could be gas or a few other things but best bet is to check in with your doctor who will probably run some blood tests and maybe a CAT scan to be sure. Keep us posted!

      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?
