if you still have your gallbladder you should call your doc, weight loss can cause gallstones. Gallbladder attacks can range from mild to severe pain. If you do not have your gallbladder I would just FYI him as a new symptom. Good luck hope all is well.

I would go have your gallbladder checked.....I was having the same symptoms, mine were uncomfortable but not severe. I had some type of special scan done and my gallbladder 17%. And it was fine when I had surgery. I had mine taken out just about exactly 1 year after my band was put in.

Sounds exactly like your gall bladder to me! Just had mine out on Nov. 18th after being banded Aug 5th. Go get it check before it attacks you! My band surgeon took mine out for me, which made me feel so much better. My symptoms never got severe, but I wanted it out before they got that way!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
