Life after gallbladder removal....
Posted , 155 users are following.
Hi,
I had my gallbladder removed 7 weeks ago, due to my gallbladder not working correctly. Although the op was laparscopic I was in so much pain I had to have an epidural. Anyway ever since the op I have been in pain, felt really sick and cannot eat!. I get excruciating pain up to an hour after food. Also if I lie down in the same position for too long and stand up that brings on the pain too. I have also found that I keep getting a bile taste in my mouth, excessive sweating and fatigue. I also generally feel 'under the weather' at least once a day if not more! After several visits to the hospital and clear test results they think I have SOD - a problem with the bile duct which may require a stent. Has anyone else had these problems after gallbladder removal and had a successful outcome? My life is a complete mess and I cant do anything apart from take pills, sleep and eat creamy food .. everything else hurts!

Well i had mine removed 3 months ago.... Sill problems, pain here and there. Sometimes It is hard to figure out if it is the surgery? or ...it is The new energy falling in our head because people around me complaint about same symptoms and they didn't have any surgery . When i was diagnosed with gall bladder stone i got mad at my self so i tried all the natural products that are there in the market, I read Hulda Clark book and i did liver flush...i bought a zapper and zap virus and bacteria . After a year i changed the family doctor , I wasn't happy with her. I found another family dr and he found no GB stones, the x- ray showed sludge in the gall bladder. I couldn't take the sludge out. I saw many health practionaires, i spent a lot of money. Finally i saw a medium.... so i found out that from past lives it was an entity there in my gall bladder sludge. I talked with the entity and he said that he wants to get out because he doesn't want to hurt me any more but he is stuck there. I was looking for a hipnotherapist when a big gall bladder attack came and affected my liver and my pancreas so i end up in the hospital.. Couldn't do surgery for a week because the inflammation ...
I wanted to share this story with you because you have to take in considerations more factors and all the bodies you have. Some illnesses are karmic hard to get rid of them. I don't think our doctors have the knowledge by taking in consideration all bodies and past lives karma the unsolved energies that we carry with us from one life to another.
P.S I know that in Europe they don't remove the GB they inject something in GB and melt the stones. I had no money to go there..Also try Liver flush if u have stones, for me worked.

Was good to read your post.
I too had my GB removed in January this year. I had several cysts growing rapidly to over a cm and Doctors thought it be best to avoid any cancer scares at a later date. However, like you I am now experiencing the annoying dull ache and pain in my RUQ underneath my ribcage, which moves onto my Righ flank (which gets excruciating at times not being able to turn over in my bed) After some meals I am curled over. I also seem to have bladder issues but think it may not be related. Have you experienced any other issues of late?. Are you dealing with your issues?. I am fatigued most days or just feeling under the weather. Docs just tell me it is all part of having had the gallbladder removed. Wish I had been told before surgery. Quite surprising that you have almost identical problems.
Hope you are doing well.

Have your symptoms gotten better, the same, or have you gone to the Dr? Just wondering cause I read you had yours out in January, I had mine out in February and I just don't understand why alot of us have the same symptoms. Hope you are feeling better, thanks

Hi all,
All these negative comments would like to offer something more positive. I am a 57 year old male, I had gallbladder removed last week, I was not in much pain prior but did have attack of jaundice which cleared up on own prior to surgery, one very large golf ball size stone.
I went down to theatre at 11.30 and was back in room by 13.30 at 15.30 I had potato and fish in cream sauce at 16.30 I went for walk around hospital and had hot chocolate from machine.
Needed no extra painkillers after operation, did take laxative under instruction next day to ensure bowl movement.
I have not been sick and not had any stomach disorders I am eating sensibly, but have had things like biscuits, cake, pasta and pie with no problem.
My only advice is to drink lots of water and don't be put off if your health care professional gives you advice take it.

ive realised it , they simply don’t care if we live or die these days ,
‘that’s why I’ve so far been waiting 4 months this thursday comeing to see a specialist as I’m still having nasty symptoms and pain etc after having my nasty gangrenous gallbladder removed ,
‘and my so called URGENT appt is on feb 4th urgent lol that will be 5 months post opp before I even get to see anyone who may or may not have a clue what’s going on ,5 months URGENT HAHAHA so funny this n h s to leave you Scottie every day with fevers daily after your gallbladder removal instead of putting you in hospital and finding out what’s going on .
no no that’s to logical Scottie surely !
lets wait and see if he dies over the combing months lol
the death squad that’s what the nhs is my friend THE DEATH SQUAD

This is exactly how i feel for months I’ve just been waiting & waiting they keep deferring my operation date and not helping at all I just feel like I’ll wither away & die before I get this operation.
But I’m getting surgery because I feel nauseous every single day (especially after meals) I don’t get the pain that everyone else is talking about so I’m starting to wonder if gallbladder removal is even the solution for me?
Has anyone else just removed their gallbladder for really bad nausea? And mild (manageable) pains on some days...

oh Jess I feel so sorry for you ,the death squad are scary ah.
have you been diagnosed with gallstones if so yes have it out. If not you need more testing hun ?
jessica_50684 Mrsoscared

So I’m kindof sceptical...
I hope to get your operation soon too, it’s no fun being restricted.

Jessica.
well if they have scanned you and found stones jess.
their aren’t going away !
they will only get worse and worse over time and bigger !
i urge you not to be as foolish as I have been !!
my stupidity, stems from fear and scepticism myself as to be honest I was terrified of what has seemed to be a breeze of an operation to be honest jess !
so I suffered in agony for 3 years ,and I do mean in agony!!
now what this chosen route has done over that period is ?
serverly damaged my mental health !
done untold damage to my digestive system I’m sure !
and basically ruined my life to be fair , however I’m trying to be positive and fight back lol.
i first was diagnosed with with some very small gallstones like 4 or 5 of them back some
13 years ago , yes that’s right 13 years ago !
when I had some slight discomfort as they now call pain lol , to my right upper quadrant and I went to docs and had ultrasound.
iwas told it’s best to have it out and that point within the nhs was booked in to gave it out 2 days later .
but I panicked and said no no no I’m not doing it .
why ?
well because I’m a coward for one !
and the gp at that time ,when I asked why I gave these ,as I have an extremely good organic diet,told me becouse I drink to much beer !!
but I don’t drink I sad !
i never have I said !
she went red in the face then said in that case it’s milk !
but I don’t drink milk I said !
you get the picture Jess.
so at that moment I thought ,s**t this ,I don’t trust these people they can’t even tell me why I have got these stones in the first place , and I’m supposed to just let them cut me open and take an organ out !!
no no no I don’t think so !!
so that’s how my scepticism of the medical world begins!!
thats because all g ps are general ,generally useless sorry to say but very true sadly and we hold them in such high regard lol.
so I carried on with my life ,like you do the occasional discomfort came and went etc,
cut to the chase as it’s a very long story jess lol of which if you want me to share with you of course I’m happy to ok, but not wishing to bore you to death here ,but if you want the whole story just say and I’ll make the time for you ok.
so fast forward !!
ive ended up with a useless ignorant consultant, who told me 3 years ago just over ,that I had four stones at 1.4 cm and fatty liver ,which I did not have by all accounts !
and a black dark shadow in the neck of my gallbladder? Yikes !!!
on questioning her further about this dark matter ? She freaked the hell out of me , or at least I allowed my coward mind to do so !!
and my terrible 3 years of hell was born their and then !!
i ended up with a situation where I was hours from death literally jess.
and had to pay to have mine out the same day privately at the princess Grace hospital in Nottingham place London.
ouch that was costly!!
my gallbladder had become infected distended full of puss and gangrenous with 2 large stones of 2.3cm one of which was stuck lodged in the neck of the gallbladder the cystic duct for the 3 years jess.
and that stone was in fact the dark shadow !!
the surgeon mr Charles imber. From the London digestive centre , 41 wellbeck st London.
just in case you fancy going private !!
is one of the very best in the U.K. and he really is that good !!
basicly saved my life to date anyway ?
and my god what a fantastic surgeon he and his team are skilled on another level !
i went from hours to live , oh and I was so very I’ll jess.
at 6pm to being put under at 6.30pm to waking up singing at 7.50pm lol
to walking up and down the hospital corridors at 9.30pm with no pain at all !
to going home at 11am the following morning the total costs with scans and ultrasounds and bloods etc etc the opp the hosp etc total was like £9,000 oucha .
but mine was a complicated case .yours would be about 6.
so that was sept 11th so 4 months ago now.
where am I now ?
well I’m alive lol
i have not had no more attacks of crawling around on the floor in agonising pain waiting to die for 20 hours at a time !
So that’s a good thing.
i do still have intermittent pain under my right ribs probably about 6 hours a day on and off I don’t know if this is connected ,don’t know if it will go , but I can live with it as it’s not that bad , it dont stop me sleeping and don’t wake me up !
it just makes me continue to worry that’s all !!
i am having some issues with constipation here and their.
i have gained 24 lbs in weight I’m very happy to say as I lost like 60 lbs over the 3 years and lost all my muscle mass like all of it not nice I’m about to start trying to rebuild my muscle if I can at 53 lol
but I’m am alive and I sure as well would not be if it was left to the n h s that’s one thing I am super sure about Jess.
my final advice to you jess is ?
they have found stones !
you have symptoms that represent gallbladder problems!
you are struggling to eat to cope to live !
its not going to get better ,but likely is going to get far worse !
bite the bullet as it’s likely you will have no choice in the end anyway !
the operation itself is a glitch honestly it is !
if you can afford to pay for it , then pick your own very good surgeon, a must in my opinion!!
as on the n h s , you are just a Ginny pig and really don’t care these days !
and seemingly are a law unto them selves and can get away with murder with no comebacks at all !!!!
the death squad lol although it really is not funny at all.
if you can afford give Charles imber a call google him ????
and if you wish to know my full story as it’s a damn long one jess.
then let me know and I post for you.
the long and short is right now yr waiting to die possibly, and you need that gallbladder out.
ive also learnt that their is no way really of them knowing it’s gangrene until they get inside !
but their is really .
elavated white blood cell count = infection which in the case of gallstones gallbladder disease leads to eventual gangrenous gallbladder which rapidly leads to death 💀
‘but the gp the many hospitals seemingly choose to brush this little fact aside !!!
or at least they certainly did in my case the murderous parasites that they are.
good luck jess.
any questions don’t hesitate xxx

Thank you for the very informative reply! It has helped me to gain courage to actually go through with this procedure instead of backing out last minute
thank u
I have also lost tonnes of weight I’m now at 10st and still loosing weight :’( but I’m happy for the weight loss just don’t want to loose anymore now, I plan on toning up and changing my diet completely anyway to pescatarian or vegan...
They said the cause of my gallstones was me eating too much junk & takeaway.
Did you feel nauseous or actually vomit after the surgery or have any digestive isses still?? That’s all I’m worried about because I can handle pain fortunately & I will look into the private surgeon you talked about because they are really dragging out my operation date.
Again thank you so much for your reply xxx

Jessica.
your very welcome.
i did have a little nauseousness for about 4 weeks but I did not take anything for it and it settled down quite quickly.
i have some constipation issues but I’m getting through this currently again without any medication.
i still gave intermittent pain on and off every day just under my right ribs probably where the gallbladder was I think, it feels like a kinda stitch pain like you get when running 🏃??? and about the same level of pain as a stitch ,which I can deal with again with no meds.
im unsure if this is connected to the opp ,the condition or what but am trying to find out still ,
im scheduled to go to kings college hhosp in February ,that I’ve had to push and push to get an urgent appointment their , that urgent appointment will have taken 3 months from time of referral to appointment lol bless the n no h hope s service ,urgent you couldn’t make it up could you , and that’s after I near died and had a gangrene gallbladder out ?
and still they look at me like I’m a nutcase !!
i think they just prey we will die before the appointment ,no I’m sure they hope we will just go away and die !!!!!
ive done vast amounts of research and it seems to me many people have this right upper quadrant pain afterwards for up to a year and beyond from what I can make of it anyway.
butits bearable and could just be simply healing inside I hope lol.
mr Charles imber. Yes google him , he does his consultations in well beck st on a Tuesday and does the surgery on a Thursday at the princess Grace hospital,Nottingham place, across the road from madem tusards .
and will usually take it out a week after consulting.
he is if not the very best , then most definitely one of them ,I done extensive research on him beforehand and what an amazing surgeon and I assure you he really is the man.
and under him ,yes you will be fine ide put my life on it !!!
i wish you well and a rapid recovery Jessica.
anything else you wish to know please feel free.
regards . Andrew.

Hi Mrsoscared !!
Please see my post earlier , but to recap went down for op at 11.30 back in room at 1.30.
Was walking around with in two hours had full meal same day.
Been 6 weeks now no pain killers needed , no stomach pains, had burger and chips with a beer yesterday .. no problem.
My only advice get as ft as possible first and drink lots of water after.
Do not stress ! I have never had operation or even anesthtic in my life before so you can guess I was a bit concerned.
The problem is the people who have op with no complications don't comment over 1,000,000 across the World had this operation last year.
FYI I am in UK and yes I do have private health, before anybody asks.

thanks for your input.
well Alan that’s good to know and good for you !
i wish I could say the same Alan.
dont get me wrong I’m not complaining ,well not that much lol.
i mean I had hours to live when mine was removed and guess mine was in far to long so maybe it done more damage I don’t know Alan.
maybe it will get better maybe something else is going on I’m unsure Alan.
but it’s without a doubt that many many many people have problems after removal of which most seem to be d of which I do not have and then after this most seem to have pain under right ribs of which I do !
what can I say lol.
lucky you !!!!
