5 weeks post o.p
Posted , 6 users are following.
I'm 5 weeks post o.p from having my gallbladder out. No stones. Still no appetite and intermittent nausea. M D ordered blood work and ultrasound only because I think he's tired of hearing me complain. Yesterday I experienced pain which was a new symptom. Has anyone else experienced these things ?
Btw this site is so helpful. I don't feel alone with my issues.

Hi June, I had my gallbladder removed just over 3 months ago
and I'm still having problems. Stomach pain after eating , bloating , nausea
sometimes diarhea.I don't think doctors understand how badly this affects people.

I agree. I think they minimize this surgery sending you home in 2 hours. How is your appetite? I am still eating very bland and small portions.taking the zifran for nausea. Had to leave work early yesterday it was so bad.. it's so re assuring to know this is happening to others . I hope you continue to heal and feel better soon.

Takes months to feel better. Need to remember you’ve had a major op and had an organ removed. I still take anti sickness tablets and painkillers. At 5 weeks I still had a wound infection. I went back to work 8 weeks post-op after using up some annual leave as well. Honestly think in the next month or so you’ll start to feel a lot better 😘 xx

Hi~~I operated 2 months ago with cholecystitis, no gallstones like you!
I also felt nausea and pain in my stomach for 7 weeks. After 7 weeks, I felt a little bit better. It hardly hurts now. As long as I don't overeat, it's okay. Let's cheer up together. I hope you get well soon.
