Pain waking me up - 15 months post op after gall bladder removal



Recommended Posts

Hi all, it has been a while since I have been on, but I need some help. I had surgery 15 months ago and have lost 130 lbs. Recently, I had pancreatitis caused by my gall bladder, I had surgery and had my gall bladder removed and now my pancreas is doing well. However, that was one month ago, and recently (last 2 weeks), occasionally, I have been waking up with severe pain in my lower abdomen and waking up hot at the same time. I usually take 2 extra strength Tylenol and the edge is taken off, and the pain is gone within half an hour, but this can't be normal as my gall bladder surgeon seems to think it is.

I know the answer is to go see a doctor and I went to see my gynecologist, but I seemed to stump her and she gave me some pee tests to do. She did say I was dehydrated and that I need to drink more, so I have been. I was just wondering if anyone else has had anything like this. I don't know if this is related to my sleeve or my gall bladder, or what... but I need to know where to go from here.

No answer here for you but I sure hope you feel better soon. If it continues after you are well hydrated I would definately go see the doctor. Better to check it out if you can. Feel better soon!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
