Please help - gallblader out yesterday



Recommended Posts

SO i had my gallbladder removed yesterday, and today, everything I eat (even liquid) comes right back up. No matter what I eat, I slime ball it back out. Did anyone experience this that had thier gallbladder removed?

I had my gallbladder removed at the same time as I got my band. I'm sure it made my recovery harder but I didn't have the problems you're having. I just can't use "garlic powder" anymore or it makes me sick. Have you spoken with your doctor? I'd give him a call. Good luck.

There's GOT to be a load of swelling and inflammation in there, so just take it easy and tiny sips of liquids till it dies down. If you feel you're going to get dehydrated act on it right away.

What made the determination for your surgeon to remove the gallbladder? did you ever have pain/symptoms before?

I had my gallbladder out yesterday and have not had any problems with eating. I am sticking to an easy bland diet. However, before my surgery I had my Dr. take out .50cc's anticipating your problem. Word to the wise...do not be tight before surgery!

Glad you feel better now!!

lab - that was good forsight on your end...we unfortunitly didn't think of this. Anyway, I'm home now, doing much better, but I'm on liquids again for a few days. How is your pain level Lab? Are you taking meds?

Yes, I need pain meds. Lor-Tab 15ml every 4 hours. I spent the night in the hospital because my surgery was after 4 o'clock. I used the Mrphine pump about 20 time from 6pm until I left today at 11am.

What's you pain level? I am having the most problems with gas. Walk, walk, walk.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
