Gallbladder Issues

Sorry to hear that, my Dr. had me do a gallbladder ultar sound, and I have to have mine removed also but he is doing it at the same time as my sleeve. I am a little nervous about being sore on both sides....

I had my surgery on 6/6/12 and it went fine but I had a hard time waking up from anesthesia. I even had to sleep with a cpap (never had to before) and when I woke up boy was my nausea bad. I had to stay an extra two days. The next two weeks while I was on bed rest I had the same problem with the rightsided pain.It got to a point where I couldnt even walk. Come to find out my gallbladder wasnt working at all! My surgeon told me I would have to have it out and he could do it the next day. I was terrified of going under the knife again but the pain was getting worse by the day and I knew I couldnt prolong it forever. I thought that was too soon to have back to back surgeries but he assured me it was ok. Im so glad I got that gallbladder out of me. My recovery from the gallbladder surgery was great!!Total 180. I was able to wake up ok. I had absolutely NO nausea (and still to date no nausea). My incision site didnt hurt jut a little sore.The right sided pain was gone. I left the hosp the next day.

Sorry to hear that you have to go through this but hopefully hearing that I went under the knife two weeks apart gives u a little reassurance. Take all the time you need until you feel comfortable going under the knife again but also know the sooner u do it you'll feel 100xs better.Good luck!!

Darkkyss- you won't be sore on both sides (because of surgeryof both)- they tend to take everything out the same hole.

I had them both removed, did lots of research and there

doesn't seem to be a diff. in getting them done same time.

Tjloser- I bet you won't believe how great you'll feel

after getting it out. I lived with pain for years from gallstones not realizing how bad the GB issues were.

Thanks everybody for your input. I'm glad to know that I'm not the only one who will be going thru this. madison it does make me feel a little better knowing that It's only been 4 weeks since I had surgery to go thru it again. Thanks again for all the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

My surgery to remove my gallbladder is set for Thur. the 16th. I'm not happy about having to go back thru surgery but what else can I do. It doesn't sound as bad as I feel it will be so I'm going to not worry about it and just get it over with.
