QUESTION TO ALL YOU THE OLD GUARD!!!!

I REMEMBER YOU ....WELL I HAD THE SAME EXACT PAIN LAST OCTOBER BUUUUUT I PASSED OUT.  WELL IT TURNS OUT IT WAS MY GALL BLADDER IT WAS WEIRD BECAUSE BEFORE THEN I WAS ON BENEFIBER EVERYDAY UNTIL DEC AND WHEN IT GOT PULLED I AL ALRIGHT NOW...WOWZER I HOPE YOU FEEL BETTER SOON

I COULD HAVE SWORN I WAS HAVIN A HEART ATTACK....AFTER ALL THE EKG.....ENZIME TESTING AND CHEST AND STOMACH XRAYS....THE CT SCAN PROVIDED THE CAUSE...I GUESS I NEED TO HAVE IT YANKED!!!!!........I WONDER IF I COULD DO IT MYSELF AND SAVE MONEY!!!???.....THANKS NANCY

I know the heart attack feeling and the being in the er for 6 hours!@##$$$  Anyway a lot of people that lose weight rather quickly get gall bladder problems.  The deal is this.........if you have a big attack that is horrible, they will not be able to lazer it out but will have to cut you open to go in there.  Best bet is to get an appointment and be really careful with food till it gets out.  I could not eat any spicey thing, anything with fat, creams etc.  I even had a bad attack eating cup of noodles!!!  I hope they told you each attack gets stronger and stronger. I am not trying to scare you, just being up front to allow you a choice!!  Good luck!~Ann~

Just a quick question, what is Old or New Guard? I had my gullbladder out 10 years previous to WLS but i can relate to the pain you experienced.  They going to remove it? Brenda

He is just referring to us oldies and newbies.   He's a former Navy man...just using a military term.

Oh ok, i just new this term in a different way and was curious hee hee! Nosey am i!

Hey Kevin, no problem for me, but I'm sure now that I've said that I'll be the ER tonight! 

Hey Kev, I saw your question and knew I had to re-register.  I forgot my UN and PW eons ago.  Anyway, I went to the ER 3 freakin' times and they gave me the song and dance of "nope- no problem- we don't see anything on the ultrasound".  The pain was astonishing.  Anyway,  I finally decided to go to the ER at John Muir and ask to see Dr. Otero.  He said it was my gall bladder and he took it out that night.  Not a problem since!  He's da man.  I had mine out a year after WLS. You're going to have to have it taken out unless you enjoy pain.   Only 5 more holes in your tummy. formerly MicheleG
