Anyone have their gallbladder removed post op?



Recommended Posts

I have been having aches on right side of back/chest/abdomen for about a week.

I have an ultrasound tonight & meet with team tomorrow. I am almost 3 months post op. This ache isn’t pain but it’s bothersome.

Just wanted to know (just in case I need to have mine removed) how long is recovery for gallbladder removal. I am hoping not to take more than a week off for recovery. And how has your diet or vowels changed since remova, if they have?

I had my gallbladder removed the same time I was sleeved. The hospital said gallbladder removals are a same-day release procedure usually. My recovery from both surgeries seem to be on par with those who just had the sleeve done. It was laparoscopic.

So far I’m able to handle most things fine. I had a ...explosive reaction to guacamole and light sour cream one day. But I ate the same thing the next day with no problem. So it kinda depends. But, overall, digestion is good.

My attacked were incredibly painful and frequent. So I’ll take a little unpredictability with my bowels for a while over that pain any day!

      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.

      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!
