Pain waking me up - 15 months post op after gall bladder removal



Recommended Posts

Hi all, it has been a while since I have been on, but I need some help. I had surgery 15 months ago and have lost 130 lbs. Recently, I had pancreatitis caused by my gall bladder, I had surgery and had my gall bladder removed and now my pancreas is doing well. However, that was one month ago, and recently (last 2 weeks), occasionally, I have been waking up with severe pain in my lower abdomen and waking up hot at the same time. I usually take 2 extra strength Tylenol and the edge is taken off, and the pain is gone within half an hour, but this can't be normal as my gall bladder surgeon seems to think it is.

I know the answer is to go see a doctor and I went to see my gynecologist, but I seemed to stump her and she gave me some pee tests to do. She did say I was dehydrated and that I need to drink more, so I have been. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this. I don't know if this is related to my sleeve or my gall bladder, or what... but I need to know where to go from here.

No answer here for you but I sure hope you feel better soon. If it continues after you are well hydrated I would definately go see the doctor. Better to check it out if you can. Feel better soon!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
