Feeling miserable today

Im having so much upper back pain I had to take pain meds yesterday and they knocked me out. Today im still having upper back pain. Its right behind my breasts and radiates around to my ribs. Im so miserable right now I cant stand myself. Im also bloated and dont want to drink or eat anything. ive been having mild back pain since surgery but yesterday driving to Dr. Singh's office made it worse, plus I forgot to take anything with me to eat or drink so by the time I got home I was starving and drank down half of a Silmfast and then for the rest of the day I felt miserable bloated. Im trying to sip on some hot tea this morning but its leaving a bad taste in my mouth. My tummy is still sore from the hernia repair and my port still hurts. I dont know how im going to get through this day of work and tomorrow. I just want to lay in bed and cry. Im really feeling sorry that I ever did this because I just want to feel like a normal person. I never ever had upper back pain before surgery, why now?

Ok whiney vent over, just needed to get it off my chest.

This just doesn't sound right.  Did you tell Dr. Singh?  You need to call him TODAY - NOW!!!  At least leave a message with the answering service.

I didn't have the band or a hernia repair, but again, this just doesn't sound right!

PLEASE CALL THE DOCTOR!!

Mellie i am so sorry.

I would also discuss it with the doctor esp since today is friday and you have a whole weekend to survive.

Actually yesterday when I was there I wasnt feeling bloated at all and my back ached some but I thought it was from the drive. It was yesterday after I got home that it got to hurting worse and after I drank that half of a Slimfast that I got bloated. I have a way to get in touch with him if I have to over the weekend so I will call but for now im going to sip tea and water and take some Tylenol. I still have pain meds if it gets unbearable. Im thinking also too my old bra ive been wearing is too big now and not supportive so I wonder if thats causing it. I have a good fitting one on today and maybe if I wear that through the night for a while it might help. Im just having a little freak out this morning thinking I did the wrong thing.

Mellie, do you still have your gall bladder? your symptoms sound like mine when i was having gall bladder issues. Get it checked out!

Sylvie I do and I have a large stone in there. It hasnt bothered me for a few years though and when it hurt me before it was right under my breasts and really didnt radiate to my back.

Mellie, you need that GB taken out. My pains neverr adiated to the back till the last day and man was it bad. But, I feel so much better now that it's out. And it was outpatient surgery, I was home in a few hours. I was at the library that evening and at work 3 days later!

You're probably right but I cant stand the thoughts of another surgery right now. I saw a surgeon 2 years ago and he said as long as it doesnt bother me he would leave it alone and it hasnt and honestly this is more back pain than the feeling I had of gallbladder pain. I just took some liquid motrin and its starting to ease up and I laid flat on the floor for about 20 minutes. Im gonna switch desk chairs today too.

does sound like GB pain....

Good Luck!
I am surprised they didn't remove the GB when you had the lap band done...

I wanted mine out, Dr. A didn't agree though, so it is still in :(

Good luck feeling better!  I will also leave on record, CALL YOUR DOCTOR!
