Hey All,

I am 18 months out of surgery and down 130lbs. Just a quick question. In the past few days I have had a pain in my right side...mid belly. If I move the right way I feel like it has a spasm. I can almost like feel a ripple, thats the best way to describe it. Is this something that anyone else has experienced? I feel fine otherwise just uncomfortable. Should I be concerned?

Happy New Year to all!

Nikki

Gallbladder maybe?

If it's the gallbladder you'll usually feel pain right below your sternum, and it's constant. It also tends to radiate up into your chest and through to your back too, at least in my experience with those horrible attacks. I'd rather have the labor pains after your water breaks with no epidural, than to have a gallbladder attack.

i havent had my surgery yet, but i have the same thing. Mine is under my right rib cage. and when it cramps up, you can almost feel the knot. I can go weeks and not have the pain, but if i bend over a certain way, it will trigger it. I just had a gall bladder test, and I go to the surgeon on the 8th to find the results. He said if it is causing me problems, he will just go ahead and take it out while he is doing the sleeve. Please post if you find that it is something else.. good luck.

Any pain that last more than a few days is something to be concerned about.  Call your surgeon's office first thing tomorrow.
