Still in pain after 3 weeks



Recommended Posts

I keep having lots of pain on my right side, whenever I get out of a chair or bend or twist. My doc thinks it's gallbladder, but I'm not sure because it seems lower than that. Anyone else have something similar?

Gallbladder disease is VERY PAINFUL. It is terrible pain, that makes you feel like you are dying. It is also often accompanied by painful diarrhea or vomiting. It is not a normal pain. But gallbladder disease is easily diagnosed using an ultrasound. A diseased gallbladder is often filled with stones that can be seen on the ultrasound. Good luck with things.

Prior to the Lap-Band procedure my doctor scanned for Stones and it was determined that my Gallbladder needed to be removed prior to the Lapband. I felt great after the Gallbladder was removed and even questioned the Lapband for moment. I would suggest getting the ultrasound done and determine if you have problems.

      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?
