Gallbladder!

[Nicolanz 1,484]

Last night, for the first time in my life, I had a gallbladder attack! It lasted 2 1/2 hours and I would have rather been giving birth with no drugs!!!

I'm scared! Does this mean it has to be removed?? What can I do to prevent surgery?

How did you know it was your gallbladder? Could you please describe it for me because I have been in a lot of pain lately.

First I thought I ate something bad. About 30 minutes after I ate there was a sharp pain under my ribs. I layed down and it made it so much worse. The pain radiated from under my ribs to chest. No matter how I moved it hurt. When the pain started subsiding I could feel that it originated on the right side under my ribs.

Interesting I wonder if the pain you have been having is gallbladder?!?

I'm so sorry to hear this, I know my doctor had me take actigal for 5 months but it really was a moot point for me because my loss is so slow.

Can you still eat ok?

Does that sound like your symptoms, Aussie?

I just had a granola bar this morning and I feel ok now. But you've been having these symptoms for a while, right? And May 3rd, I'll be 6 months out.

Yeah to many posts,

I've read here that the attacks are worse when you eat foods that has a higher fat content?

So that might explain the granola bar going down easier for Nicole..

Fyre who knows? Hope he's off being happy

My PCP told me that nothing really helps with the gallbladder. I have read posts where people ate low fat diets and that helped contain the symptoms..... I had my gallbladder out 6 weeks ago and it was a piece of cake. Nothing like being sleeved. No pain actually which made me really happy......

I knew I should have inquired about actigal! *cries*

I had gallbladder attacks after losing a lot of weight on WW.

It was excruciating. Worse than all 26 hours of labor I had with my daughter.

No relief until it was over. It hurt so bad I was gagging.

Do you still have your gallbladder, Amanda?
