I have chalked it up to trapped Gas. Everything is all squished up right now... I have taken some Gas X pills.. and they seem to help a bit... I also drink some Diet soda... and the carbonation helps too... But.. if you are in that much pain and concerned, I would see your surgeon!

I'm so exhausted but the pain keeps me awake. I just took a couple of swigs of mylanta to see if that would help. So far nothing much .... My doc isn't familiar with wls or anything pertaining to it and so i'm wondering if should switch.... i dunno.... i'm in such pain and she's just like " well you can massage it, or try a heat compress but other than that there's nothing that can be done... " Damn.... that's it?! This is that kind of pain that almost makes your eyes water at times! It's not sharp and stabbing...it's just there....and it hurts like hell.... and all she can say is " oh well, nothing can be done " . I'm sorry to sit here and vent on y'all like this but I have no one else to complain to. I don't dare wake up hubby since the poor guy didn't sleep much last night either and he has to get up for work in the morning.... *sigh* Aaliyah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi, this is in Nevada and when I was pregnant prior to WLS I had the same kind of pain you are talking about. It ended up being my Gall Bladder and an infection in my pancreas. You might talk to you doc about doing a simple blood test and possible an ultrasound to look for gall stone. I really think that passing one of those stones was worse that labor, it was truly awful. Anyway, just a thought, good luck and keep you chin up. in Nevada > hi all > > It's me...again...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 I agree! Here's what I found online: Gall Bladder Attack Symptoms Acute onset of fever. Pain in the right upper abdomen, under or below the rib cage. Ingestion of fatty foods that produce pain in the abdominal area may indicate a chronic problem. Mild Jaundice (may be noticed in the whites of the eyes). Enlarged and tender area detected upon palpation just to the right below the rib cage. Vague abdominal pain possible with chronic gall bladder conditions. > > hi all > > > > It's me...again... It's 3:43am CST and I've been awake since 1 > > something....

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi I had my gall bladder out when I had my wls. To top it off, this pain seems like the same pain I felt in the first trimester of this pregnancy. I had gone to a GI doc and had as many tests done as possible and nothing came up. Had bloodwork done and everything you can imagine but all came back negative. Go figure.... he chalked it up to scar tissue... I just don't know if I'm convinced. I do have a hernia but the pain isn't exactly on the spot of the hernia.... aaliyah > > hi all > > > > It's me...again... It's 3:43am CST and I've been awake since 1 > > something....
