I honestly felt like i was dying!!!



Recommended Posts

I didn't have left or right pain, I felt like a steel band was being tightened above my chest area...like a heart attack probably feels. It was unbelievable pain. You also do not have to have stones...my gallbladder was filled with a thick greyish Fluid and wouldn't let anything pass. I had both of my children natural and the gallbladder was worse!!!!!! Good luck!

My gall bladder pain was on the right, in the middle, in my back, in my front, everywhere LOL. This last attack was "over" in a few hours but the pain did not go away for days, and I needed meds to help me survive those days!!! So I decided enough of that non-sense (I was pretty much wanting to keep my gall bladder and just try naturally cleansing and stuff like that, but I am DONE!)

Good luck today with your appt. Candi.

sounds like gall bladderto me, by the time I finally had my gall bladder removed I was living on clear broth - it seemed to be the only thing that didn't give me pain. Fortunately your gall bladder is something that once it is out you will be a happy camper.

      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.
