    Default Worst stomach ache I've ever had

    So I've had literally zero problems with stomach pains or the like with my sleeve, and I am almost a year out now. However, the first Saturday in November, I ate the same as I usually eat, and yet ended up with the WORST stomach ache I've ever had in my life by far. It lasted several hours and was so much pain that I could barely stand it. I was on my knees.

    After about five hours of this horrid pain, I decided to go to an emergency room, but then just as soon as I decided that, the pain stopped completely. I haven't had a repeat at all in the nearly 3 weeks since that time.

    Someone theorized that it was a gall bladder attack, but it wasn't really in the right place for that at all. Plus, I had my gall bladder checked only a few weeks before and it was fine. So I don't believe that's the issue.

    Has anyone else had something similar to this? I'm pretty confused how I can have such an extreme problem that I have never had prior, that the problem could go on for such a tiny amount of time (in the scheme of things that is, it certainly felt like a long time when it was happening), and that I haven't had it at all since then.

    Depends where was the pain at that you had. You could have had a Gall Stone that moved or a Kidney stone.

    It's your gall bladder....the same thing happened to me! My hubby thought I was just being over dramatic but it was REAL! I went in for an ultrasound and sure enough there are little gall stones in there. I am a very clean eater and I noticed that when these pains came was when I ate something that had been fried. So that only confirmed to myself that I won't chance my luck with anything fried....so not worth that feeling!

    Did you have an ultrasound done? If yes...then I have no clue what your culprit could be!
