Post op, October 26, 2012. Seemed to have been doing much better with recovery 1-2 weeks post op. however week 3 and 4 have been tough. Each day gets a bit more painful. I can't keep much down. Nausea is a constant all of week 4. Heartburn, diarrhea, throat pain, and now back pain. I don't want to get alarmed if these symptoms are normal. What concerns me is that these symptoms were not present 2 weeks ago.............. what y'all think?

No, this is not normal. Do you have a fever? You should check so you can inform your doc. Call your surgeon's office and talk to whoever is on call. If you can't get through, or don't feel satisfied with the response - go in and get checked out. Even if it turns out to be something totally benign, better safe than sorry. I immediately wonder about heartburn treatment, dehydration, and even the possibility of a leak.

Please call your surgeon. You definitely should not be getting worse.

do you still have your gallbladder?

Thank you all, and yes I do still have my gall bladder.......
