Gallbladder removal
Comments (5)I had the laproscopic gallbladder surgery some years ago, had 3-4 tiny incisions, bandaids -no stitches- ?staples & went home the same day!! Was a bit of discomfort- not bad (& I do NOT like any pain!). Had years of 'indigestion' but no ultrasounds detected any stones; then the last ultrasound showed ? 'sand'. Surgery produced a big handful of small stones! Been find since & can eat anything! Didn't need a gallbladder-glad it is gone-no worry about emergency rupture! Had the appendix removed at time of another surgery much as the Dr. protested 'they don't remove normal organs anymore' (I won)! Well, the normal appendix was sent to pathology as usual.... & the report came back as having a carcinoid tumor inside the 'normal' appearing appendix! Am glad both are gome... didn't need either and am fine without either of them, thank you! Am sure you will be just fine & recover well & feel so much better afterwards! No, I wasn't allowed to keep any of the 'stones' as souveneirs!! Years ago... as I'm sure you had heard... most people were in the hospital; nearly a week after that surgery!...See Moregallbladder symptoms??? help please
Comments (4)I to ave had gallbladder problems. Couldn't keep food down , would swel like I was 9 months,was told I have IBS. Finally I found a dr that removed it laporscopic and found I had a high hernia.Fixed that and removed my gallbladder. Said it was the worse he had ever seen ad asked me if I drank Dr Pepper. I said use to.Said it was bad to drink those. I onl drink watr and unsweet tea once in awhile a sprite. Well thatsurgery was 2 yrs ago. I felt really great until a few months ago when I would bloat up again like before, certain foods would make me throw up and it wasn't the same foods that would do it. Sa I would eat Pizza get sick , eat it again wouldn't bother me. One thingI noticed was this pain under my right rib like a baby kicking my rib. Best way to discribe it.Went to dr , he did a scope and a scan. Said nothin is wrong. Well the pain is getting worse constant movement. I can't get confortable at night. I eat small amounts of food, sill bloat, constapated. Just down right misserable.Dr put me on Amitiza 25mg and I feel worse than before. Can't keep food down and can't stay off he pot. So I stopped taking it. Looking fr a different dr that can help me.Does anyone else have this feeling? I had a hyserecomy so I know i'm not pregnant...See MoreI was in the hospital because of my silly gallbladder!
Comments (18)I am sorry to hear you were in the hospital. I haven't had a gall bladder attack yet but I have heard they are painful. My Mom could never explain to me what was wrong with her other than to say she felt funny now and then. I took her to the Doctor and it turned out she had 6 gallstones. They can be dangerous if they move into the ducts and cause a blockage. My Mom had her gallbladder out by laproscopy and she was fine after with no problems. I have a friend who had his removed and he can't eat pork of any kind. Goes right through him. LOL Hope you don't have any more attacks before you get your gallbladder removed.

Comments (36)Thanks everyone, I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers. Still feeling pretty good and was able to get out of bed without assistance this morning. Me and my daughter walked just a little bit outside yesterday and will do the same today. I saved up magazines and I'm reading a really good book, which helps with the down time....See Moremorz8 - Washington Coast
