Muscle pain?

I've talked with my bari nurse and she's not concerned, I have my regular follow up on Friday and I wouldn't qualify myself as concerned, more curious. i have a reoccurent pain in my upper right side (almost right under my right ribs, occasionally radiating to my back (but above kidney area, not kidney related, I know that pain!) -- it reminds me a bit of my gallbladder pain before it came out -- but nowhere near as aggressive. Gallbladder has been out more than 15 years, no fevers, able to eat as usual, all aspects of plumbing are working and while the pain gets my attention I don't need to take anything for it. I am wondering if it's just my body having to readjust to where the weight is as I lose? Does that even make any sense? It feels kind of positional to me but I don't even know if that's a thing. I tried google but it mostly wants to scare me.

I have had very similar pain due to intestinal distress. For some reason it is worse after WLS than before. I think it is because I do not get as much fiber as before... and tend to get backed up. I take something every day now, either Miralax, or senna or even Milk of Magnesia if it has been more than a couple of days since a bowel movement.

Thank you! I seem to be pretty ok in that area but maybe not as much as I think I am!

I've had my gallbladder out now for 2 years and I occasionally get weird "twinges" there too, almost like phantom gallbladder pain, but not severe enough for me to think it's anything serious. Mine seems to happen when I eat raw broccoli most often, though I haven't had any raw veg since my RNY. I also get twinges if I have gas, which broccoli can sometimes cause, so maybe that's it.

Bodies are weird.

Yes!! Though this process, I'm really finding out how very weird they are!

Jus****ch it. It may be nothing. I complained of pain for a year and they kept telling me I was eating too fast irctoo much. Finally at the one year mark when I was still complaining they decided to do tests. I had an incisional hernia. Not to scare you but just keep tabs on it. It may pass.

Oh thank you!! I will stay on top of it for sure!

Sometimes pain like that can be a liver pain. Or bile duct pain. Even without GB we can make stones in the liver or the bile duct.

Liver works very hard as we are losing weight. Sometimes it get "pissed off" on us and cause pain.

Oh, I did not know that!! I thought we had to have the GB for the stones. Apparently when the dr was doing my bypass, he did find some stones loose - I know he mentioned it to my sister when he talked to her after, which I found surprising since my gallbladder was out in 2001!

I didn?t think about the liver but that could be it ? it?s working very hard these days!!

your PCP should be able to test for things like liver or pancreas. I had some weird pain for awhile, and they were able to rule those out through blood tests.
