That was very interesting and a stark comparison with my experience. I had my gall bladder removed on a Tuesday morning. I was discharged from hospital at 5.00pm the same day. Had to take pain killers about 7.00 then was okay .. More pain relief before bedtime then slept until 8.30 next morning. I was a bit sore, but able to walk around without any nasty pain. First meal at 9.00am was muesli and tea. .. Constipation until Thursday but okay with urinating. Friday the pain had gone and was returning to normal and played a gig with my band on the Saturday night. .. Pretty uneventful all round compared with your experiences. Hope you're fully recovered and have got all those after affects sorted.
My was out patient , had gallbladder plus umbilical hernia repair I was in by 8am and discharged by 2 pm. I had robotic surgery , no that much discomfort granted I was on pain meds. Only 5. Holes. Yep the gas pain was in shoulder but it seem it was next day. Hope you feel better now.
Well I was told I needed surgery, I spoke to the surgeon who was supposed to do it, and decided not to have it. He told me of the risks both having it and not having it, I decided not to have it as it seems to me that we have this gall bladder for a reason, I'm no expert but i do know that it is there for a good reason and unless there is no other alternative it is better to have it than not. Before I spoke to the surgeon I had looked for an alternative, based on the idea that keeping the bladder was probably better than losing it. So I discovered there is a product that claimed to help, by reducing the cholesterol that forms in the bladder, it said would be slowly desoled by the bodies own bile. So not wanting surgery I decided to try it this is around 7 months ago now. It's not been easy as the product can cause some minor side effects, but to be honest so far I'm glad I did not have surgery, I may regret it at some stage later but if anything it feels as though it is working. After one year I will get a scan to see if the stones which were quite big have reduced in size or gone away. I no longer get any pain at all but I do need to listen to my body when it tells me to stop taking it or reduce the dosage, some times I get drained can hardly move but that is a sign I need to stop then my energy levels come back and I start again back on it. That's the way I have been using it anyway. I feel without it I would have had no choice but to have surgery. I had all the symptoms, vomiting, pain, unable to move at times, felt sick unable to go to work. Now I feel so much better, and I can still eat fatty foods but you're better off trying to have a normal diet avoiding fatty foods as much as reasonably possible but not altogether because you want your body to produce bile so that bile can devolve the cholesterol in the bladder. Or at least that is the idea. In all I can say is that since taking this stuff I have felt so much better, it is not instant it takes time in fact it takes months but considering the alternative I thought it was worth a try. I also noticed with prolonged use I get pain in my muscles, but that is an indication to rest from it I have found, I don't know if it is causing other problems to my body but so far nothing that I can say that I have noticed. So I'm glad I did not have surgery so far, the doctor expected me to be back in hospital quick but no. I don't think there is a quick fix for this problem, it is a slow solution. Surgery would be quicker but it was not for me. If you have an infection it may be your only solution.
@@thepardillos509 Yes it can be dangerous but what I don't understand is why they always go for removal of the bladder rather than removing the stones when they clearly have the ability to justice rid of the stones.
@@thepardillos509 I would think there was a way to I cert something into the bladder that helped melt the stones as they are only usually cholesterol,. Also by removing the bladder it does not address the problem of why the stones formed in the first place, I was told its to do with the liver being a problem, so wouldn't it make more sense to fix the problem with the liver and then every thing should become less of a problem as the stones would be melted away.
I haven't had my surgery yet, but my stomach hurts so bad at night, I have loose bowel movements 4-9 times a day. I am 70 yrs. old and have a bad heart (2 heart attacks) and other health issues, so not sure if a surgeon will take me up on this. I'd be willing to risk death to get rid of all of these symptoms though. Your belly looks quite beat up and sore, hope you are doing well now.
I had my gallbladder surgery Monday...today is Friday...and I went back to work yesterday and today. (I teach voice and piano at a conservatory.) I was sent home 5 hours after my surgery started...so only 4 hours in recovery. After the 1st hour, they made sure I could walk and urinate...then let me recover another hour...gave me some juice and graham crackers...and called my ride. For the first 7 to 8 hours, I kept an ice pack on my abdomen and alternated between Ibuprofen and Tylenol. I never took any pain meds...only whatever they gave me at the end of surgery, so when it wore off, that was it. I trusted that my body would have normal-for-me stools, especially since I took no pain meds...and sure enough, the morning of the 2nd day post-op, that happened...and it's been pretty consistent since. (I've always tended towards loose stools...even diarrhea-ish...so it's looking like that's not going to change.) I've got a whopper of a bruise around my navel...and three small instrument holes that they sealed with surgical glue. The glue will just grow off...I imagine by the end of the 2nd week. I had Chick-fil-A yesterday...chicken nuggets and waffle fries...and that was the fattiest thing I've eaten. It didn't upset my stomach...but then, I don't think I'll eat that often. Overall...my surgical experience has been pretty "meh"...and beat the heck out of a gallbladder attack for dang sure!!! I'm really glad I did it!
Did they glue your cuts? I’m on 1 month 5 days post op and guess I feel fine overall still trying to take it easy because pressure on biggest cut still hurts my cuts look healing better but still looks like I can put a quarter in there lol
I'm on my 16th day after surgery and still I'm bearing a very sharp pain in my upper abdomen and where my Gallbladder was to be, (And after surgery when i was back from the nap I couldn't breathe properly and my abdomen was so much hurting till 3 days After one week when i had my sutures removed my one incision has collected Seroma inside and started leaking but fortunately it has gone after one day) Since 9th days post op it is 16th day and i can't walk properly or eat full of my meal, my stomach looks like sore, bloated and swollen and I can't lay on my sides properly coz it's hurting, and I think I'm one in 1000 people who have surgery complications. And now I'm scared to any type of surgeries.😢😢
@@nadasaad71 Thankyou dear! Now I'm fine but sometimes I feel a very mild pain where my Gallbladder was to be, but it is ok, my incisions are healed almost 80% but I think my stomach looks bigger now and my digestive system a little bit has changed. Hope everything will be fine 😊
How are you now I am 1 month 5 days po and my stomach is still bloated with carbon monoxide gas and swollen a bit use restroom pretty fast after eating but pain inside not too much just cuts are sore after a long day ugh Im still scared to feel the pain inside
@@jasmineyanez3112 it's been 2 month and 3 days but yes i still feel some mild pain in where my Gallbladder was to be, and feel heavy after eating some oily foods, so better if you walk after every meal and specially in night atleast for 1 hour, my stitches are healed but some incision look like blisters and if i squeeze them i feel very sharp pain but still I hope it'll all gonna be ok, best wishes for your health 😇
Vanessa when I was having a gallbladder attack I was in pain excruciatingly pain u can’t sleep ur having problems breathing I’ve had a ultrasound I’m going for another one next week I’m on list to get gallbladder surgery
Hello so I am 15 days post op. I am having trouble with many foods. Almost everything sends me to the bathroom. Do u have any tips or a diet that seems to work best for you. I know they say to stay away from certain foods however it's hard because I have been eating like this forever any tips would be great.
I am the same! It will take a while for you to understand what foods your body can take. Apparently ox bile tablets. I haven't used them yet but I want to try. 8 months post surgery and I'm still going to the toilet many times a day.
I had my surgery done 2months ago was fine wen i left hospital recovery was fine but now i feel tired nd have no energy i just wnt to know does anybody else feel tired wit no energy after 2 mnths post opp
apparently 20-50% ppl get diarreah post surgery but docs never mentioned it....! how long before the diarreah gets better post surgery? im day 9 and alot watery diarreah still post surgery...? what did u do to help the diarreah?
I personally know 7 people who’ve had their gallbladder out years back, and not one has colon or pancreatic issues!! Holistic doctors and other professionals in the naturopathic fields can be extremist drama queens……don’t worry so much.
I had my surgery 11 days before.. They put some tube in my stomach and some liquid is coming still.. I have problems in my left stomach, My shoulder still hurts due to gas problems.. My Worst part is in the morning when I wake up..
How are you now ? Make sure to take gas X or charcoal pills and even though it hurts walk enough every Day more and sleep with pillow under knees and head propped a bit
I recently had a gallbladder attack it was Painful . They said I have to get surgery. I’m kind of nervous about it. Were u nervous about it tell me more. Are u better now
Yes I was nervous, it's normal to feel nervous. This was my first surgery and the thought of having something removed from your body permanently was scary. But I'm glad I did it because I didn't like being in pain.
8 months post surgery and my body is still adjusting to everything. I've noticed i get diarrhoea if I have dairy now. I never used to. Anything fatty doesn't get digested so I get floaties in the toilet. 😅 I love food too much so nothing stops me from eating. I just run to the toilet everytime I need to. I needed the surgery as I had way too many gallstones and if I didn't get the surgery I would have had more issues if they got stuck in the bile duct. A life threatening infection.
@@thepardillos509 yeah I’m scared to get surgery I have little stones what try to escape all the time, I’m going to see if there is other options besides surgery

My experience is just like yours,, was in big pain after surgery for two to three days.
