Gallbladder surgery
Posted , 7 users are following.
I'd been suffering with pain for 3 years before the doctor's would listen to me, been in and out of hospital with doctor's saying its just IBS. When I told the doctor I thought it was gallstones she pretty much laughed and said no your to young at the age of 23 and sent me away with more useless tablets.
After I went back a few more times they agreed to send me for a scan which found aload of gallstones so was put on a waiting list for gallbladder removal. After waiting 13 weeks and suffering pain pretty Much everyday I went to doctor's in really bad pain where they then sent me to hospital with information of the gallbladder, the next morning I had surgery.
It's 6 days after surgery now and I feel sick and dizzy every morning when get up, I have no energy and can barely do anything. I just wanna get back to normal 😢

I feel for you it's not nice, after seeing my sister struggle with getting diagnosed to finally having the op, she was in a lot of pain and kept in hospital for 4day after the op, she barely moved out of bed that much for the first week at home, I know they say your back on your feet the same day but it's not the case for every one.
It is major surgery to have, have you tried having a word with your GP or even the surgeons clinic they maybe able to suggest something to help with the sickness?

Its nice to know your not alone, even though I'm not the one suffering it's helped me getting advice from people on this site, my sister is still struggling 15 days after her op but we are hoping the doctors maybe able to help a bit more.
All the best for recovery!!

I'm 6 days post surgery too, so I feel you! I've found that the days I feel the best are the days I've gotten up and about, sometimes out of the house, sometimes just up and downstairs, and even though I tire out easily and end up back in bed early on those days overall I feel better. I hope you start to feel better soon
