Gallbladder surgery

[vbgirl264 28]

Has anyone had there gallbladder removed a few months after rny. I'm a lil over 3 months out and I'm curious to know the recovery time and pain and stuff.

I had mine out at 5 months post op. it was an easy surgery in my long list of surgeries. I was less painful than having the gallbladder in.

I had mine out 6 weeks after rny because I was experiencing severe nausea/dry heaving and lower right back pain. The pain with gallbladder surgery was worse than rny. I'm still sore, and I had it done three weeks ago. I think it's different with everyone though. My mom had hers out after rny and she was up and about the next day. Good luck!

They should have your gallbladder removed with surgery! I was feeling so missable a couple weeks after surgery ... They didn't tell me til after I was rushed to the ER from work that that the gallbladder usually goes to crap after surgery ... Wish I would have known before hand that there was a chance of that before surgery so I knew what was going on.

My surgeon told me that he doesn't remove the gallbladder during because not all patients have gallbladder issues after surgery and he wants to get in and out of the operating room as quick as possible because the longer were cut open the higher the risk of infections. He said he usually removes it before or after surgery if its an issue.

It felt like someone hit me in the stomach area. The pain is below your ribs and above your stomach.

Certain foods made the pain a lot worse. Dairy was horrible!

My doctor won't remove the gallbladder at the same time. I was told that the risk of complications goes way up with the two combined. The time they are working in you is longer and you are under anesthesia longer = higher risk. They prefer to do a few months before or after, if necessary at all.

I had my first and only gallbladder attack last August. The pain is exactly where you describe and I couldn't get comfortable no matter what position I was in. It was almost like labor pain but constant. I finally drove myself to the ER, which was a HUGE mistake. Because I was driving they couldn't give me anything strong enough to ease my pain. I suffered all night in the ER before it began to ease up enough for me to be discharged. I got home before my hubby knew I was gone, showered, and went to work. Wonder woman? Or fool? I vote fool!
