Gallbladder removal pain



Recommended Posts

For those who have had theirs removed how long did it take for the pain to subside? Everything else seems to be almost healed except that.

Did you have it done at the same time or separately. I had mine done at the same time, so I can't say. Overall my pain was minimal. Both my gallbladder and stomach was pulled thru the same incision. That incision took about a week to stop hurting.

I took me maybe a month to no longer feel any pain. My pain was located at the bottom of my stomach; kinda felt like a pinching sensation. If you feel pain that lasts longer than a month or pain that is just unbearable, go get a CT scan to make sure there are no complications.

Yes all in one operation.

I was sleeved 8/3 and ended up having my gallbladder out 8/29 almost a week out and I'm still in pain having to sleep in the recliner at night. It sucks. I'm hoping for some relief here soon.

Sleeved 7/7 and had gall bladder out 8/20. Gall bladder incision was 11 inches long and is still sore but I am able to keep it in check with tylenol.

I had pain for a month after my gallbladder removed too. It was from an internal suture pulling on my muscles. Once that suture popped, I was in no more pain.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
