Have been having a time with my sleeve. I think I may have an ulcer. Get pains and nausea every time I eat, especially the top of my tummy, right below breast bone. Not wanting to eat because of it. Then the past 2 days have been having pains on my right side just inside my newly found hip bone.  I see Dr. B on Feb 2. I'm not losing alot of weight, can't seem to make onederland. Hover around there though. But on the up side I have lost 45 inches overall and am starting to feel good about my self. Any advise, opinion or past experiences appreciated. 

Hugs to all, Cindy

The second is still a week away I would call Dr. B and tell him what you have told us and see what he wanted to do. I am not a sleeve patient but am a big believer in getting a professionals opinion to be on eteh safe side. I hope that it gets better for you soon.

Could it be gall bladder or did you have that removed already?

I had mine removed so long ago that I sometimes forget that it can an after effect of the surgery.

You have lost enough weight for gall bladder to be an issue-please get that checked if you still have one.  Also how are the bowel movements?  Constipation can be terribly uncomfortable and kill the appetite too.

You are looking great-hang in there and take care of yourself.

Gallbladder pain would be on the right hand side right under your breast.  Sometimes the paid radiates around to the back.  Nausea is very common with gallstones.  I agree with the others - call Dr B!  And let us know how you're doing.  Sorry you're feeling bad!

I had my gall bladder removed years ago, I was different then most my pain was right at the top of my stomach right below chest.  Yours sounds like where mine was. I would definately call and talk to the dr, I think its gallbladder too.  And it doesnt feel good at all!!!! When I had my attacks I would just hold a pillow close sitting up and slumped over!  It was an awful pain i will NEVER forget.  Hope you get to feeling better soon
