I went to a wedding with my sister and for some reason had excrutiating pain that required me to go to the car and lay down for about an hour. I was nauseous, had a terrible headache and my stomach hurt really bad. My sister kept joking that maybe I was pregnant but pregnancy never felt like that! Just when I thought I couldn't take it any longer I felt better...except for the headache. I made it through the wedding and felt better the next day and didn't really stress it. One week later I had my lap RNY. My surgery took longer than expected because my bowels were twisted...that's what had caused the pain! My doc. said that is a lucky thing they caught it because more pain could have been on the way. Even though you are feeling better I would suggest that you get that checked out with your doc. I would not want to repeat that experience for the world! Shadisha I had a similar experience before surgery. I went to a wedding with my sister

I don't want to scare you or any thing with this but it really happened. She was a diabetic and was having terrible stomach and back pains and the doctor could not figure out what it was so he put her in a rehabilitation ctr (Fancy name for Nursing Home) on a Saturday to monitor her. That evening her stomach pains got as bad as you are describing and she begged for more pain medicine and for them to call the doctor when they would not give her any more. Well needless to say that didn't call the doctor and they didn't give her more meds, then as soon as it stopped she felt totally better and she went to sleep. While she was sleeping she bled to death. She had had an ulcer that ruptured and they did not bother to take her blood pressure or anything thru the night, something they would have done had she been in a regular hospital. Well they went in at 7:30 am only to find her gone. I could go on but this is a <!--more--> painful memory only brought up because the pains that you were describing sound just like hers. So I would see if you have an ulcer? Maybe not but better safe than sorry. DeDe Duncan dadrian.duncan@... Hello Felissa,
I have not had surgery but what you are describing sounds similar to what

did not bother to take her blood pressure or anything thru the night,
something they would have done had she been in a regular hospital. Well
they went in at 7:30 am only to find her gone. I could go on but this is a

painful memory only brought up because the pains that you were describing
sound just like hers. So I would see if you have an ulcer? Maybe not but
better safe than sorry.
