I had my gall bladder removed years ago, and I am not having surgery for a few weeks BUT I promise you if you are having issues, surgery is like heaven. I couldn't believe how much better I felt once that thing was gone! I suffered for years through attacks, when I finally ended up in the ER I was in "labor" with it for 6 hours before I got morphine on board to alleviate the pain, and as I told my surgeon I was in labor for 2.5 hours with my son, and brought home a baby and in labor for 6 hours with that thing and brought home nothing but a prescription for pain pills ;-)

What does a Gall bladder attack feel like? For the last 2 days I've been having sharp cramping pain constantly in my right upper back, side and now wrapping around to the front. It's bearable pain if I'm resting though. I think it's my gallbladder and want to ask my surgeon if he can take that along with my stomach

You just described it. When it first started I would take tylenol and just rock waiting for it to stop. I quickly realized I felt better if I made myself throw up (Not the best thing, but when you want to cut your insides out a little puke is worth it) At first it was just highly fatty foods that set it off, avocados, lots of cheese etc... In the end (before surgery) Water set it off. Mention it, I am sure they can ultrasound you and see if you have stones and just plan them both at the same time. I waited so long that when it finally was removed my gall bladder was not soft and pliable, it was hard and nearly gangrene, my surgery took nearly twice as long as it was supposed too, my surgeon said I had been sick a long time and that I had probably become so accustom to it that I had no idea.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
