Gallstones? I'm currently worried I may have one; woke up with exactly that kind of pain. Had that exact feeling I couldn't stand up. I'll follow the responses here.

I am having similar pain (stomach and back) that comes and lasts for hours then eventually goes away. I saw the surgeon and when he pressed on my gallbladder it hurt. I’m getting an ultrasound Tuesday to check for stones.

Definitely ask your surgeon about the pain!

Have you contacted your team. I don’t think new pain that is so severe you can’t stand up at 13 weeks out is very common. They should have someone after hours to advise you.

I read about this before my surgery back in November 2021. Gallstone formation is a known complication due to fast weight loss.

Sending you lots of healing energy. Let us know if you are doing the cholecystectomy.

I will have my 3 mo follow-up soon and I will discuss this cos you can take something to prevent the gallstone formation.

It's called Actigall (urisodiol - I might not have the right spellings). I was prescribed this right after my surgery to take for 6 months. I haven't had gallbladder issues so far, knock on wood!

Don’t wait for your appointment. Call their office today. If they don’t respond and the pain is terribly bad go to the ER.

As in you are a student? If you miss a class, can’t you make it up? You won’t be able to focus and pay attention anyways if you are in that much pain.

Yes I’m a student. It takes hours in the ER and the pain isn’t as bad right now but I’m going to get my mom to take me later

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
