 Posted: 01/02/08 - 20:34 Post subject: post gallbladder bloating, discomfort |
  |
|
 It seems many people have the same problems. Surgery on 9/9 with pancreatitis also. recovery took about 3 weeks to just feel somewhat normal. here it is jan. and i still have constant bloating, i look 5 months pregnant by the end of the day. my gyn even gave me a preg. test! Ultrasounds showed nothing. I'm now waiting on a cat scan. The fullness goes up very high. I too worry about looking much larger than i have ever been! This is very discouraging, has anyone had this for months and then have it go away??? Is this going to last forever. I know about 15 people that had the surgery without any problems! Is anyone tried protoniX meds? any positive insight would be great! Thanks |

| had the surgery 4 days ago. I have the red line up the side. no fever, and only tenderness around the naval incision. I have a lot of bile (very green) being excreated. Is this normal during a movement? I mean I realize it has no where to go now, but does it (the body) eventually compensate for the gall bladder being gone? |

I have also had mine out one year ago and gain a ton of weight and I also have had this right side abdominal pain since that that does not respond to steroid injections, massage or phyical therapy and I also cannot exercise. I use to have diarreha but that went away and if I eat the wrong foods I am bloated and can get very sick. |

|
|
| I had my gall bladder out last week on Tuesday so it's been about a week and a half. I was admitted on Monday morning of last week and had my gall bladder taken out Tuesday morning. I then came home on Wednesday. I thought I would be able to go back to work on Monday, but that wasn't the case! I was able to move around and slowly go back to my normal routine, but the fatigue and dizziness was what kept me home so long. I felt light headed all the time and experienced severe nausea after eating. It's now Friday the week after and I'm starting to feel better. I thought my recovery was slow too. But hang in there, and hopefully everything returns to normal soon. As for being bloated, I was only bloated till about 3 days later. Then after getting rid of the gas, I guess my stomach went back to normal. Keep your head up! |

|
|
| i had my gallbladder removed on march31, 08 and over a month later i am still having some pretty horrible pains and having to run and i do mean run to the bathroom no matter what i eat or dont eat, its no specific food! i was also told i would have a speedy recovery. wrong! i tell my husband often that i should not have had the surgery. and for the ones wonderin when the bloating will go away it will take atleast 2 weeks for it to start going away. i have alot of days were i just dont have any energy. so yeah it sucks and im hoping that i will hurry up and recover from the surgery. by the way i was told that the pain after the surgery was were scar tissue has to grow in the empty place were the gallbladder was and it will take me atleast 3 months to heal. so i hope this helps some of you guys wonderin WHEN! |

| The bloating is from the inflation of your stomach during the surgery itself. It can take up to or around a week for it to pass. It will pass, hang in there. Call your surgeon....that's what you paid him/her for! |

I had my gallbladder removed on April 16, 2008. My recovery was uneventful, and a lot easier than I had anticipated.
However, a couple of weeks after the surgery, I noticed that my urine was dark yellow-orange, on a couple of occasions. Then, about a week ago, I started having "the pain" I would get during an attack, only much less severe. More of a discomfort. It's just below my ribs in the center of my stomach...almost in my chest, but not. It is a constant discomfort, though feels better, at times. Also, I have had the "pinching" pains a bit lower on my right side, and the right side of my back/shoulder.
I see my gastroenterologist on Tuesday. I am hoping he says that this is normal and will eventually subside. I am so nervous that it may be SOD, or that the pain will intensify to a full blown attack.
I am considering seeking alternative methods to aleviate these symptoms. Has anyone had any luck with a naturopath, or holistic medicine?
I am very thankful that, so far, it has not been as bad as the attacks were. But it somehow drains me, and I feel like I cannot enjoy the benefits of having the surgery while these symptoms persist. |

I had my surgery 3 days ago. So far, I've been very lucky. I'm very sorry for those that haven't had an easier time.
I get so worried reading some of the stories of recovery so I thought I'd send mine (so far) because it has been very good and might ease the minds of some.
Today I walked over a mile (day 3 -including surgery day) and I drank a ton of water. I also have been taking huge deep breaths and try to cough every now and then. The exercises seem to help a lot. The day after surgery I walked a couple blocks and stopped when I had to. I did this 2 times to keep me moving and then crashed on the bed for a while to recover.
Today I feel the need to really cough but it hurts when I do. Don't know what that's all about.
I wish us all speedy recoveries. |
