Question:
Possible Gallbladder Problems?? Please respond...

Help Please!! I am 18 months post op from RNY down 125 pounds. I have been having back pain around my bra strap area and as soon as I eat I feel pain for atleast an hour in the front of my body. Like between where my ribs meet and some to the right, I almost went to the hospital tonite but started to feel a little better.Hmmm...The back pain has been pretty constant but as soon as I eat, I don't feel well. After a while, it subsides but...I was only able to eat a bite or two tonite and immediatley had pain. Could this be a gallbladder problem?? Thanks for any reply..    — Grace K.

Gallbladder pain can radiate out from the gallbladder (which is on your right side). You really do need to get it checked-- the pain can get worse, it won't get better on its own and the operation is a snap.

It does sound like your gallbladder. I had to have mine removed after surgery. Yo9ushould really get it checked. My surgeon said that if you pass a stone it can now get stuck and become an emergency situation.

It does sounds like your gallbladder. I just had mine removed 2 weeks ago and it was a pretty simple operation.

Thanks for the replies...I am going to have an ultrasound next week. I heard that if you ignore it that it will get alot worse if it is in fact, my gallbladder.. Thanks for the advice.
