Ms. Mandy 14 Posted January 21, 2013 The surgery from my gallbladder seems to be hurting worse than actual GB surgery ... Maybe cause I was on morphine afterwards? I just want to feel 100% better ... This has not been a easy journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sky 87 Posted January 22, 2013 I think an ultra sound of the gallbladder should be a pre op requirement 1 Cheryl Barfoot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gingerc 0 Posted January 22, 2013 I had my gastric bypass 4 years ago .I just had my gallbladder removed last Monday and this has been a little rough Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kisersassy 369 Posted January 22, 2013 I had mine removed. Not quite a month yet and yes it KILLED me!!!! It was 200% worst then gastric. I am still having pain, not as bad though , and discomfort and still can't lay on my left side without it feeling like something is pulling. I have to take a loratab every night since just to be comfortable!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sky 87 Posted January 22, 2013 They took mine out when they did the rny..i was hurting bad.. Took some time..i don't feel completely healed on the inside yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CuriousC 3 Posted January 22, 2013 I had my removed exactly two weeks after gastric bypass. The doctor didn't think it was possible so quickly. I agree, a scan of gallbladder should be a requirement. The gallbladder surgery was so much more painful. Don't do too much to not hurt yourself. 1 sky reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raquelrdgz 41 Posted January 22, 2013 How did y'all know something was wrong with y'alls gallbladder!! What are the symptoms? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OleHippieGal 275 Posted January 22, 2013 If you go on YouTube you can see the actual surgery for he gall bladder removal. They slide a zip lock bad in their to put the gall bladder in and then pull the gall bladder through your belly button. It's really weird. You can also see the video for the RNY pretty cool if you don't get queasy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sky 87 Posted January 22, 2013 I was having problems with my gallbladder for a couple years...i had alot of poisson on my right side..in my back and sometimes up between my shoulder blades...extreme pain from certain things I ate that were too greasy..throwing up yellow bile...i had been telling my Dr but I think she thought it was all in. my head! I was having attacks that would last for a few days. When I met with the surgeon before rny he had me go for an ultra sound and sure enough they found stones so they removed mine at the time of rny..5 large stones..if I had not mentioned it before hand I have no doubt I would have been having surgery again!
