Gallbladder Problems Anyone?



Recommended Posts

I keep asking if I am dumping with my stomach pain and vomiting but it has been suggested that maybe it is gallbaldder? I have lost 40lbs in the last few months. Can it be? Anyone had gallbladder problems? I hear it is common with rapid weight loss.

Dumping doesn't give you stomach pain and vomiting but gallbladder does. I also had a dull pain below my ribs on the right side. I had mine removed at 10 months post-op following a bout of pancreatitis due to a gallstone in the pancreatic duct. No problems since removal.

Better call your doc--they can do an ultrasound for stones.

I had mine removed years ago. Not sleeved yet. Glad the gallbladder came out first. I would've hated thinking my sleeve was causing all that pain and discomfort.

I just had my gallbladder removed last week. Luckily my doctor caught it before it became a problem. However, the symptoms you refer to are aligned with gallbladder/kidney issues. There is no harm in getting your doctor to test for it. I am all about preventitive care and so is/should your doctor.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
