What's wrong with me and how to fix me?

When my older daughter was engaged, her fiancé, 32 years old, was not feeling well for about 6-7 months. Symptoms similar to yours. His general doctor told him he was just stressed about his upcoming wedding, so he sent him to a psychologist!

I told him he might have gallstones and that he should see a gastroenterologist. He believed his general doctor. He said he trusted him. My daughter could not convince him to seek a second opinion. He was stubborn!

As the wedding approached, he was feeling worse. He lost weight. About one month before the wedding, I called the best gastric surgeon I could find at the university hospital. I explained the need for an immediate appointment. The surgeon saw him two days later. They did an upper GI series of tests, and he was found to have gallstones.

He needed surgery, but because the wedding was a month away, he was given instructions for a low fat diet. He followed it and felt much better for his wedding. The wedding was on Friday night. He had surgery on Monday or Tuesday. I think he was in the hospital for only two days. Everything went well. He was back to his healthy self!


Gallstones
Gallstones can cause problems with fatty food digestion. Gallstones are hardened masses of digestive fluid that manifest in your gallbladder, a small, pear-shaped organ located in the upper right quadrant of your abdomen, just below your liver. Your gallbladder stores bile, a digestive fluid, that is released into your small intestine. Certain risk factors can increase your likelihood of gallstones or pain due to inflammation of your gallbladder, including consuming a high-fat, low-fiber diet, being obese or overweight.

Common signs and symptoms associated with gallstones include intensifying pain in your upper right abdominal quadrant that comes on suddenly, back pain between your shoulder blades, pain in your right shoulder, jaundice and high fever with chills.

My son-in-law was not obese...did not have high fever with chills. No jaundice. His pain was over his stomach area, lower ribs. He had a feeling of general malaise almost every day.
