Gallbladder Sludge

[ScoutCR 126]

I am 1 yr post OP from having my gallbladder removed and the severe sepsis that i endured and almost ended my life all because of the poison that happened from my gallbladder going rouge. My 51 year old brother's wife just died from sepsis! That is serious! If you do not feel well and have pain do not ignore it! I thought it was just a complication from my ByPass surgery but it was so much more. It has taken a year to feel better and I still have a lot of days that I do not feel very good, but much better than when I was admitted to UPMC hospital last year. Thank GOD for UPMC they saved my life twice. Once with my Bariatric operation which cured my kidney disease and then with curing my sepsis.

It sounds like a reflux of bile is what is causing the ulcer, not common but it does happen.

I had my gallbladder removed during my gastric bypass surgery due to chronic inflammation. But I also had frequent ulcers in my stomach and small intestine.

it is extremely common for bariatric patients to need a cholecystectomy after dramatic weight loss.

you might want to consider adding digestive enzymes with meals afterward. Some doctors also recommend bile salts.

Be careful they told me I had gastritis for 4 months and it was my gallbladder failing inside of me, well dead by the time they found out.
