Gas Pains? Gallbladder?
Hey, 6.5 post op. Last night I had an awful episode after eating. I don't think I ate too much. I started getting getting upper back pain right between the shoulder blades. It was an aching pain. That continued for about 3 hours. It felt like my sleeve hurt too. I had nausea, hot flashes. I tried to vomit a few times but nothing came up, so it wasn't overeating. I was wearing tight pants and control underwear, so maybe that combined with sitting caused gas?
Even today my sleeve feels sensitive and I feel a little lethargic and headachy. I guess it could be a flu, but what happened last night, was so weird.
Anyone experience something like this?
I should mention, the night before, I threw up after eating some carrots and hummus. It felt stuck and I got nauseous. I figured it was just because I ate too much or didn't chew well.... I don't think it's related, but who knows.
Definitely call your surgeon. I had those exact symptoms two weeks ago and still do occasionally. My surgeon ordered an ultrasound of my gallbladder and turns out I have gallstones. Call your surgeon!
