I'm 26 on October 25 I found out I had gallstones. I'm having surgery to remove my gallbladder. Under my jaw neck (glands) hurt could it be related to my gallbladder? I have no fever.

    I do not know about the pain in neck(glands). You need to speak to your Doctor.

    Hi Kristen

    Unfortunately when you have gall stones, the bile gets into your system and can cause havoc! I had allsorts of symptoms due to the infection and felt absolutely dreadful until I had the "alien removed" 3months ago!

    Bile which can be dumped into your digestive system and enter you blood stream can cause loads of problems, really bad headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain!

    Am glad to say the all these symptoms have gone since surgery!

    Still sticking to low fat diet and smaller portions so as not to produce too much bile

    Very glad I had the operation though!!biggrin

    I haven't heard any one saying that was an issue. I would check with doctor it could be something else.

      I'm so scared and terrified of the surgery. I'm scared I won't wake up or something will happen.

      Kristen you will be fine. You have to trust your surgeon and the hospital. It was my first time under and i was scared but I did just fine. They put a mask on my face and had me breath and I didn't even feel sleeping. Next thing I knew I was waking up in recovery.

      Kristen that is when you stop reading things on line. Just look at all the people posting they are fine. Yes you can have issues afterwards but take things one thing at a time.

      Stop reading things that can go wrong. That is what I did. I found this site and it helped me get through everything. I know at four people who have had this surgery back when I was a kid, my mom, a few nureses who are friends, and my uncle a few years ago. They are all fine.

      You need support and we are here for you. Just remember you have people waiting in the waiting room and its hard for them, easy for us since we are asleep.

      Find a good uplifting book to read. Think positive thoughts.

      Go through with the surgery with a positive outlook. Think of the less pain you will have after you recover.
