Anyone have their gallbladder removed post op?



Recommended Posts

I have been having aches on right side of back/chest/abdomen for about a week.

I have an ultrasound tonight & meet with team tomorrow. I am almost 3 months post op. This ache isn’t pain but it’s bothersome.

Just wanted to know (just in case I need to have mine removed) how long is recovery for gallbladder removal. I am hoping not to take more than a week off for recovery. And how has your diet or vowels changed since remova, if they have?

I had my gallbladder removed the same time I was sleeved. The hospital said gallbladder removals are a same-day release procedure usually. My recovery from both surgeries seem to be on par with those who just had the sleeve done. It was laparoscopic.

So far I’m able to handle most things fine. I had a ...explosive reaction to guacamole and light sour cream one day. But I ate the same thing the next day with no problem. So it kinda depends. But, overall, digestion is good.

My attacked were incredibly painful and frequent. So I’ll take a little unpredictability with my bowels for a while over that pain any day!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
