This past weekend I had severe nausea and vomiting along with searing pain in my right side upper abd and right flank area. Ended up in the ER with no resolution. ...CT and ultrasound showed nothing abnormal. Labs were all good too. This was not a stomach bug... this was intense pain. It came in waves. I could be just fine for an hour or so....other than the nausea and the it would hit like a ton of bricks. I was sent home with prilosec, pain meds and nausea meds. And told to follow up with my pcp for EGD. PCP could not get me in this week so I asked her to just put the referral in for theEGD. Hopefully they call soon. Oh.... and last night I started to have pain more in the middle to the left side and straight thru to my back. That's been on and off all day. My appetite is starting to come back a little bit. Any thoughts? I'm 5 yrs post VSG AND have sadly gained back about 30 of the 60 I lost this go around. ..I was a revision from a lap band...I'm still down 69 from that.

It sounds like Gallbladder attack. Do you still have it?

Some people can still get stones in bile duct. Hope is not that...

Hope you find answers...

The things come to mind is hernia, adhesions, Stones in bile duct, pancreatitis... Or bowel obstruction...

I was thinking your Pancreas as well. The pain from an acute attack can go through to your back. If you start vomiting bile, that could be signs of an obstruction or twisting of bowel. I had both... Could be a few things... let us know how things go at your doc's office today!!

It could be a simple flu/Food poisoning, but please....ALWAYS take complications seriously if you are post WLS. All kinds of stuff can happen. I hope you feel better. ((((hugs))))
