Possible Gallbladder Removal

I’ve been having issues with nausea and vomiting the past week, but I thought it was due to dehydration. You know, because too nauseated to drink, not drinking causes nausea.

I did end up going to the ER (same place I had my surgery and my surgeons office is part of the hospital) for fluids Friday night/Saturday morning. I’m happy to say that I was only slightly dehydrated, but also unhappy to say that the nausea and vomiting were from something else.

They did a CAT scan and ultrasound because I guess bloodwork showed weird pancreas activity.

I have some sludge in my gallbladder. Talked to my surgeons medical assistant this morning and they fit me in for a HIDA scan to see if the gallbladder is emptying right. It’s not. I have an appointment with the surgeons physicians assistant tomorrow and it looks like they may be removing my gallbladder. I have been taking the Ursodiol they have me at discharge that’s supposed to help not get gallstones, so I’m upset that this happened to me, but I’m also glad that I followed my gut in going to the ER and had those tests done.

I’m still feeling sick and my anti-nausea meds aren’t helping. Please send good vibes my way. ?

This happened to my friend after her sleeve surgery. Her gall bladder filled up with sandy crystals and was removed.

He mum had her GB out too so there may also be a genetic component.

Good luck

Odd that you should mention that Sarah , my mother and I had ours out within a year of each other.Never speculated on it before.
Now for a definite answer, my guess would be Goodbye Gall Bladder, but since I have never been a Lottery Winner, my feeling may not be worth much!.
