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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
