My life is a nightmare since GB surgery
Posted , 49 users are following.
Hi. I had my gallbladder surgery 15 months ago and it has been the most frighten time of my life. I live day to day in pain, fear, anxiety, hopeless, down. If it wasn't for my 16 month old baby I wouldn't want to live no more I think.
It started with painful esophageal spasms ,chest / stomach burning for over a year. All this time I was constantly worried and saw lots of doctors. Finally when I thought I was getting better I start having weird abdominal pain with lots of nausea, which has been diagnosed as inflammation in the stomach area. Taking PPI at the moment. I'm so worried again because I read it can be bile gastritis which is chronic 
and very painful. I forgot to say I had a MRI two weeks prior before pain started and it was normal?!
Has anyone got gastritis a year or so after cholecystectomy and found out bile was the cause? If so, how is it treated and does it work? I read it's hard to treat it, and diet doesn't help either. I can't sleep I'm so nauseated and worried. It seems I am not going to be normal ever again. I only wish that this is only a nightmare I'm about to wake up from.. Thank you.

Oh sweetheart I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. I've been dealing with gastritis and ulcers for years and recently developed gallbladder issues as well. I had my gallbladder removed a week ago and hoped that it would give me some relief, but it didn't. I'm constantly nauseated and have a horrible bitter taste in my mouth, and tonight my stomach started burning like I have another ulcer. I've lost over 20lbs since all this started that I did not need to lose. I wish I could help. if you find any solutions or treatments please let me know, and I'll do the same.
