Anyone had gallbladder issues?



Recommended Posts

Things have not been good the last week.

Weight loss has never been better.

But im in a lot of pain.

I went to the walk in centre as my doctors was closed due to staff training.

They gave me antibiotics. This was Thursday. Now the pain in my upper abdomen is so so bad. I would compare it to intense contractions in my upper stomach. Then just hurting all the time in between. I couldn't eat yesterday. I managed a bite of food and it made the pain worse. I was able to drink the first half of the day. Now drinking hurts. Its not bad enough to go to the er. So I'll be heading to my drs on Monday. But this really is horrible. No Constipation. No sickness bug.

I wonder if anyone has had gald bladder issued and if this sounds like it could be that ? I've googled and I know self diagnosis is never a good idea hense why I'm going to my doctors Monday.

I lost 5lbs this week through barely eating. Its like this has been building up and I didn't notice. Now I'm in agony and I wish I could stop breathing for a minute because it hurts more when breathing in and out.

Oh man! This actually does sound like what I went through just before I was admitted and they took out my gallbladder- the good news is that you're pretty aware of your symptoms and are good at describing them
The yucky part is that you will probably have to go to the ED when it gets really bad next time- I wish I had gone earlier- I put up with a LOT of pain before going but when I called my surgeon he said to go right in-
At least when you get to the ED (if it gets horrible again) they can give your pain meds and then you can breathe. Trust me- it's worth it. - when and if you got they'll do labs and other tests if need be.
And if worse comes to worse and they have to take it out- it's an easy surgery- nothing like the RNY pain and ordeal -
Anyway- I hope this helps- let me know if you need anything- feel.m better [emoji6]

Thank you. Today I am suffering. Chills . random toilet explosion when I've eaten nothing. Feeling sick. Can't eat barely or drink. I've even cried its horrible. I am away with my kids so can't go er today. I have to drive home in the morning . drop them wrh my mum then go to the emergency room. This is horrible. I've never experienced anything like this.

I've posted about my chills and lack of apetite had no idea it was about to be a nightmare.

Good luck. I need mine out but I'm hoping to hold it off until February. I don't have stones per the ultrasound but my Hida Scan showed it was not working properly.

      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.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
