Gallstones anyone?
I had my VSG two years ago, and lost 150 lbs the first year. While I still have a ways to go, I've often read that gallstones can be a problem after losing weight rapidly??
Last night after dinner I started feeling a VERY intense pain in the very center of my upper abdomen. After a couple of minutes it was so bad that I had to get up and walk around and was shivering! I was moaning and so worried! But after 15 minutes or so it went away. I was able to sleep last night... but then again this morning after I ate I am experiencing a milder version of that same pain.
It isn't in the "right" side of my abdomen, or in my back. I keep reading the symptoms of gallstone pain, and my pain is directly in the center, below my breastbone.
Could this be the problem? Could it be something with my sleeve? :( I haven't felt pain like that since I had my last kidney stone, intense and burning!

yes, I had pain right between my breasts when I had stones.
