gall bladder questions!



Recommended Posts

Can anyone who had to get their gall bladder removed post surgery explain what their symptoms were? I'm on my 4th day of diarrehea (as you all wanted to know) and every time I eat it feels like your stomach would if you had food poisoning, twisting and cramping. I have noticed the pain starts on the right and radiates through my entire stomach. I do not have the typical back pain or even the typical sharp pain...just painful all over cramps and the diarrehea. Has anyone experienced this?

For my preop appt I was told I have gallstones

For the gallbladder it's directly related to your liver

Pain is on the upper right of your body and it hurts like after you eat and the pain does not subside when you inhale and exhale to breathe

It just sits in that spot like on the right side almost under your breast..and I also agree that if nothing goes away for sure see your physician

My pain would start anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours after eating. Usually later at night before bed. Diarrhea and sharp pain (hard to breathe) on the middle or right part of my abdomen were the start. Hot and cold sweats, no position was comfortable, sitting in almost a squat doubled over was the most comfortable. I did not have any gallbladder issues prior to surgery, but had my gb taken out at 8 months post op due to the pain. I told my surgeon the pain during an attack was worse than the pain I experienced waking up from sleeve surgery.

If its uncomfortable dont question go to your doc to get it checked out.

      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! 😞
