Urgent!!! Please read ASAP!!

What does it feel like to have your gall bladder go bad? I suddenly started having horrible abdominal cramps all over my abdomen mostly lower abdomen now for almost an hour now. Never had anything like this before. Tried to call the dr., waiting for a call back. Courtney

Had my gallblader out about 12 years ago. The pain was right in the middle of my stomach and hurt like h*!!. The only position that would bring the least bit of comfort was sitting up and leaning forward slightly. I had several attacks before I finally went to the Dr. The worst attack I had was in the middle of the night and my husband was away on a fishing trip. I drove myselft to the emergency room. That was on a Sunday night and they removed my gallbladder that next Friday. I would see my Dr. ASAP. It's nothing to play around with. Hope you feel better. --Char

Hello I Had my gallbadder removed Nov 2001 I had 3 attacks before it was removed due to many many stones... the pain I had was extreme pain... labored breathing i could not take in a deep breath because it hurt... felt sharp pain in front to the right side just alittle and in the back as well same area... no matter how i laid or sat or what i drank milk anything for heart burns upset stomachs didnt work i threw up alot and got in the shower with ho****er on my back that didnt work either i finally went into the ER and they gave me a ****tail litocain and mylanta and the pain went away and the next day i went for a ultrasound saw stones and surgery was scheduled... so if you feel any of these symptoms i would go to the ER Beth

You might want to go to the ER it could be that or traped gas and they would be the best to tell you what it is. I had mind taken out a few years ago and I was hurting in the whole stomach and in the upper right under the breast. I was trying to pass the stone so I suggest that you get someone to take you in now and do not put it off too long. With the type of surgury you guys had it happens so to be on the safe side get it checked. Please let us know how it turns out sweetie. I care and this is from someone medically speaking.

Moma Pat is right here sweety .. Get your butt to the ER if you have not already gone .. 1 out of 3 RNY patients that do not have their gall bladder removed at surgery normally end up back in the hospital to have it taken out . Please get there soon .. Big Hugs .. Natalie

Is it radiating to your back.............the pain I mean??? I had mid to upper ab pain back in January, that radiated to my back. It was alot of bowel that went through a hernia, causing it to strangulate. HOLY PAIN MAN!!!! You have to go to ER, first, then you have to make sure Dr. Anez is up on what is going on at all times!!! Go baby go, we love you!!! Sharon

Hey Courtney! I am having my gallbladder removed with my RNY in January but I have stones for years - and the attacks are ruthless! The worst pain I have ever had -Mine goes all the way across my upper stomach area and into my back and between my shoulder blades - If you think it is your gallbladder you need to get to the ER as soon as possible - Don't want it to rupture! I'll be thinking about ya - Let us know!

Honey, I hope you aren't answereing anyone because you have gone to the hospital. this is nothing to play with. Let us know how you are doing because we all care.. Hugs' Betsy

hi Ms Court, My names is beverly and i am from manassas also, i am a nurse and if you think its your gall bladder it is usually in the center of the stomach or to the left, and extreme pain after eating something greasy like chicken french fries or something with a lot of fat like Fritos. If it is your appendix usually starts on the left and works it s way to the right and if you press on your bellybutton and let off you will have pain when u let off..do u have a fever??? you should go to the er and get evaluated. Beverly
