What is the deal?!? rt side pain



Recommended Posts

Well I have been having some issues this past week... I ate a few grapes and my stomach turned.. I got sick but didn't throw up.. my rt side started hurting.. then 2 days later I ate about 3 doritos ( I know! Shameful! lol) and about an hour later my side was KILLING me! then the next day I had some Tomato based cabbage Soup same thing... that night i got some burning in my throat, some coughing... Then the next morning I had my Protein Shake and instant rt side pain, nausea and after about 2 hours of this accompanied by shaking, difficulty breathing and panicking, I lost said Protein shake. the nausea got better but my side continued to hurt for the rest of the day... Needless to say I called my surgeon, they said it sounded like classic gallbladder symptoms.. (I have lost 85lbs in 6 months) and ordered a gallbladder ultrasound and HIDA scan. Both of which came back normal... Well now I'm having more issues with burning in my throat and side pain... My surgeon said if it were my band I would be hurting in the center of my chest and stomach not on my rt side.. Of course I keep worrying about a slip or being too tight but that doesn't explain my side pain.. Has anyone else experienced this? Gallbladder symptoms with normal test results.... ? Sorry so long but I'm wigging out just a bit...

oh and I have had dizziness and lightheaded spells off and on since this started.. blah!

Could it be your appendix? Are you having fever? I think that usually goes along with the vomitting and right side pain.

I get that occasionally. It took me a few times to realize it was gas and/or Constipation. Moving the bowels gets rid of it everytime.

edit to add: Until I realized what it was I was downright scared....it was pretty painful and I thought it was serious. Nope....good old constipation.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
