gall bladder questions!



Recommended Posts

Can anyone who had to get their gall bladder removed post surgery explain what their symptoms were? I'm on my 4th day of diarrehea (as you all wanted to know) and every time I eat it feels like your stomach would if you had food poisoning, twisting and cramping. I have noticed the pain starts on the right and radiates through my entire stomach. I do not have the typical back pain or even the typical sharp pain...just painful all over cramps and the diarrehea. Has anyone experienced this?

For my preop appt I was told I have gallstones

For the gallbladder it's directly related to your liver

Pain is on the upper right of your body and it hurts like after you eat and the pain does not subside when you inhale and exhale to breathe

It just sits in that spot like on the right side almost under your breast..and I also agree that if nothing goes away for sure see your physician

My pain would start anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours after eating. Usually later at night before bed. Diarrhea and sharp pain (hard to breathe) on the middle or right part of my abdomen were the start. Hot and cold sweats, no position was comfortable, sitting in almost a squat doubled over was the most comfortable. I did not have any gallbladder issues prior to surgery, but had my gb taken out at 8 months post op due to the pain. I told my surgeon the pain during an attack was worse than the pain I experienced waking up from sleeve surgery.

If its uncomfortable dont question go to your doc to get it checked out.

      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.
