Gallbladder! :/

The surgery from my gallbladder seems to be hurting worse than actual GB surgery ... Maybe cause I was on morphine afterwards? I just want to feel 100% better ... This has not been a easy journey

  • I think an ultra sound of the gallbladder should be a pre op requirement

  • I had my removed exactly two weeks after gastric bypass. The doctor didn't think it was possible so quickly. I agree, a scan of gallbladder should be a requirement. The gallbladder surgery was so much

Ouch!! Those are huge! When I found I was having gallbladder issues ... Naeusea all the time ... Then the pain hit hard and would not go away. It was in my back between my shoulder blades and in the front of my chest. Took morphine for the pain to ease up a bit. Now after surgery it still hurts BAD and I have thrown up everytime I have ate :/ which doesn't help with the healing process because the use of stomach muscles. I just keep praying everyday that it gets better.

I hope you find something gentle that will stay down...you don't want to fall into dehydration now....are you a tea drinker? Decaf green tea is soothing to the tummy

Omg I have an ultra sound scheduled for thursday and I can not wait!!!! I am in soooo much pain! I have "attacks" and it is the worst feeling! How long did it take for everyone to get their gall bladder removed once the drs knew there were stones?

I waited for over a month when mY rny was scheduled to get it done at the same time...i was having problems tho for a couple years..good luck to you!

I can't wait until something is done

It's miserable I know....try to avoid fatty or greasy things for the time being....especially deep fried foods..

I'm on a low fat diet already and the pain is there! I had a piece of bread and I had sweats and dry heaves! I feel like I can't eat anything :(

Great! I didn't know I should adjust my diet again ... Surgeon said to stay on stage three diet. I am just going to go back to protein shakes, water, Greek yogurt and cheese! Ugh!!

Only adjust your diet to what you're surgeon suggests!

Then I'm sure you're not eating things that aggravate it more...hang tight til your ultra sound..if you have stones I'm sure they would set you up for surgery as soon as possible. They wanted me to see the surgeon right away but I told them I would be having rny soon and they would take my gallbladder out then...just made me a little upset that I had to deal with it for 2yrs before something was done! Where is your pain mostly? Mine would move around but was always on my right side or back or up into my shoulders...then it gradually just settled in my gut in the front. I was also dealing with ulcers at the same time...if nothing shows up with your gallbladder they should do a endoscope to see if it's ulcers

It is mainly my back! And on the side of my stomach. My back pain is constant but the attacks are terrible! Especially while I'm at work. I am a banker and I've had to excuse myself several times this week to throw up and have have sweats. It's embarrassing and I'm just over it. Thanks for the advise :) If its not the gallbladder ill definitely ask about the ulcers.
