Please Help... Very nervous!
I am almost 33 weeks pregnant and was having some major right side pain right around my gallbladder that started 2 months ago. We did gallbladder ultrasound and there are no stones but can't do a HIDA scan because of the pregnancy. In the last month, it has moved to directly over my scar at the bottom of my sternum where my band is in place and on the left side under my breast. This pain is absolutely unbearable and Tylenol doesn't even help it at all. I've tried a heating pad and I've tried ice and still no relieve. I described the pain to my OB and my Lap Band Dr as like you have taken a torch at a million decreases and just keep jabbing in that area. Feels like my insides are absolutely on fire. I do not have any heartburn or reflux either. It's not a sharp gas like pain. It's a constant burning and throbbing pain like it's in knots or something! Everything I eat or drink, doesn't matter what it is, absolutely burns me alive! I can't even stand to wear my bra or a shirt for that matter because just the slightest touch to that area will double me over. My Band Dr said he is going to scope me this coming Saturday, June 11th, and check for an erosion or slippage but when I look online about symptoms, I can't find symptoms for either one except weight gain. This pain is super super intense! Has anyone ever had anything like this happen to them? He said where I'm pointing at is directly over my band/stomach area. I'm going to be more scared if they don't find out what's going on than if they do because this is really bad! Please help if you have any suggestions! I am just trying to prepare myself. I'm actually going to call them in the morning to see if they have a cancellation list just to see if someone cancels and maybe they can get me in sooner. I'm afraid this is going to put me in preterm labor if something isn't figured out soon. Just getting really nervous not having an idea of what could be going on inside of me :(
Praying for you. Let us know what happens.
Good Luck on your Journey !!
