I had my gallbadder removed last Friday Dec 9. I feel very different. My stomach doesn’t feel like I have something poking on it. I’m still on bed rest but doing fine. It wasn’t as bad as I thought.
@amjmata You may have stones in your bile duct. And you also may have a bile leak. You should ask your Dr. about it. Just because you have the gallbladder removed, doesn’t stop the stones from forming. Hope you find some answers!!
@ZoneIII I’m glad you had such a great experience! I was in the hospital for 2 nights after my surgery and a month later I am still in pain from it. It is routine but it isn’t a minor surgery. They mess with your organs and anytime they are unnaturally disturbed, there is the potential for complications.
I just had the same surgery two weeks ago. No big deal. I went home in less than two hours and, within three days, I couldn’t even tell that I had the surgery. I was up up and around the same day the surgery was done. There was only minor discomfort and slight pain the first couple days. This is very routine. No need to make a drama about it. I’m 62 years old and it was the first time I was ever in the hospital ever and the first time I was ever treated for anything. Nothing to it.
Im having mine removed on the 30th of August. I’ve had four impacted wisdom teeth removed so I think this should go smoothly. Were your gallstones painful? The pain was intense enough for me to drive to the ER…
@vijayinfosec NO COMPLICATIONS WHATSOEVER.. I had a full diet day after the surgery. No food restriction. I’m not having diarrhea. I just had like a really rare episode of phantom pain but it was nothing more like mild muscle cramps on the post-op site.
i’m a nurse and will be having lap cholecystectomy tomorrow. scared sh*t not because of the pain but because of the thought i’m under general anesthesia and will not have any control on what’s going on.
great to hear your’s went well. take care !
@vijayinfosec — I just had mine out yesterday and I’m feeling good right now. A little sore is all. As far as long-term, my mother had hers out several years ago and she says she has not been affected by it at all. Although, she does get indigestion from time to time, but her doctor suggests it’s from the use off her NSAIDS that causes that. I am really happy mine is gone for now. It’s amazing how good I feel for just having surgery yesterday! I felt much worse after having my wisdom teeth out!
@Charliecopperfield how do you feel now after gallbladder removal surgery? Are you able to eat normally? any complications like diarrhea something like that….please advise..as i’m little worried as my wife just had a baby and got 2 gallstone attacks..Dr’s are recommending GB removal.

The surgery for me was “INSTANT” relief. They kept misdiagnosing me for over a year. They’d say it was acid reflux and stuff. I kept telling them that No this was not acid reflux. I passed out while visiting my parents one night. My Dad scooped me up and took me to the ER. My White cell count was around 20,000. They took me in and did a CT scan, and then an ultrasound, and found the gallstones. My liver was infected too by this time. I was so glad to get it out finally. That was in 1997.
Gall Bladder surgery isnt as bad the appendix surgery. I had both surgeries within an year and half. APpendix taken out was very painful, however Gall bladder removal just like walking in the park. I was an outpatient at the hospital for 8 hours for the procedure. The worst part is getting in / out cars and bed. My doctor prescripted me some Oxylcodone when I got home. That made me sicker than a dog so I got on vicodins.
@TrippySkippy7 I’m having mine taken out on the 24th of this month so just a day after tomorrow. Don’t be worried we’ll come out of it ok. This is my 4th surgery so I know what to expect and let me tell you from having had an incision twice and a laparoscopic surgery to remove appendix it’s not that bad to have 4 small incisions it makes it a whole lot easier to move around than one big incision from side to side what’ll probably be more painful is trying to get rid of the gas afterwards. Walk.
@fixingtheproblem i havent had my surgery yet but they have told me (me going in for pediatric surgery >.<) That i will have to stay over night if all goes well, and they will give me oxy codone for pain there as well as for a few days for home. i hope you are feeling better soon. I suffered for 7 1/2 months untill they came to this conclusion.
To hear that you are doing well, makes me happy. I’m getting mine out in 3 days. I’ve been dealing with this pain for 7 months now, and they finally decided to do the surgery. I am only 16 and they said they were heasitant because of my age. but they said this while i was still 15, then in january i was getting worse, before it was just pain when i ate and certain foods triggered it more. But now its pain 24/7, throwing up, nausea, diarrhea and constipation. any suggestions for the days after?

@oillick I am so glad that you said that. There is a possibility that I have to get it out, and I am so so nervous about the whole procedure. (:

@abbieejayneee i’m wondering the same about that too. i have mine out in three days. But i think that it can’t be anything compared to now.
