    Default I really need your help!!!

    Hello everyone
    So good news first I'm 4months post op and down about 60 pounds, and I fit into a size large skinny jeans for the first time in 10 years!!!
    I really need your help I've been having alot of nausea and I don't eat alot, at meal time at most I'll eat is about 5 bites or less.so my doc sent me for a barium test to see the stomach, the radiologist only told my that my stomach is very small.

    but for 2 days I've been having bad stabbing pains on my left side, my doctors office and his nurse offices are closed for another week,
    I called a 24 hour hotline to speak with a nurse and where my pain is is where my stomach is located as well as my liver,

    she said sometimes when someone has a galstone attack it could also hurt on the left as well as the right,
    she also mentioned that complications from the sleeve are hernias and cysts and gallstones.
    she said to go to the ER.my next day off is Wednesday and Thursday do I'll be going if the pain dose not get better by Wednesday,

    I just wanted to know has this happened to anyone?[/FONT]

    Your liver and gallbladder are both on your right, not your left. Your stomach is (now) higher and more between the breast bones. The part of it that was more left is now gone. Are you short of breath at all? Have your bowels been moving ok? A few things it could be, but its best to get to a doctor and play it safe. If you are short of breath or coughing up any blood, get there pronto. Take care.

    I've got pain under my right ribcage... I have the pain about 2 hours after a meal that lasts until the next meal (empty stomach).
    Ultrasound... Negative
    Hida Scan... Negative
    Tomorrow... Upper GI

    I had a duodenal ulcer some 25 years ago... It feels like the same pain to me as it seems to bore a hole through to my back... just like before.
    I'm currently and have been on Prevacid for many years. They added Carafate prn after surgery as well.
    I'm beginning to wonder if that crazy iron dissolvable tablet I am taking is part of the problem??
    Oh well, hopefully I will know tomorrow...
    Good luck in your search...

    Sounds like gallbladder to me. I had mine removed in August 2006 because I kept having attacks.
