Post op complications
Posted , 8 users are following.
i had my gall bladder removed at great expense 6 weeks ago as I wanted to be free of pain etc to enjoy the summer? Now here I am in the huge nhs hospital with a distended stomach and intermittent right side pain especially when I change position either night or day. It has got steadily worse in the last few weeks yet I had felt almost back to normal and certainly able to eat a normal healthy diet as Before. I've had X-rays and a catscan which shows fluid surrounding my remaining organs but no one seems very sure what to do. My Top man Professor who did the op is conveniently away on holiday but will be informed. They might attempt to drain off the fluid and give antibiotics but a further more complex op may be necessar. I wish now I'd kept my gall bladder, suffered the pain and persevered with the diet. Has anyone else had a similar experience. I am a 72 year old woman with no ther health problems and a fairly active enjoyable lifestyle.

Really I think with gallbladder surgery we are damned if we do, damned if we don't either way, it is all a gamble and we have to go by the advice we have and our instinct. I do hope you soon find out what is going on and have it fixed without much trouble. Take care and get well soon, Cynthia x

I'll pray for you that they can fix the problem. I feel for you beacuse I had mine removed five years ago but I still suffer so much. As Cyntia said we are damned to remove it and fanned to keep it. I had a very sick galblader and I was very stubborn to not to remove it. I was afraid of the surgery and removing my organ. But whatever I did it could not help my situation. Therefore, I end up having a complicated surgery that kept me in hospital for nights and sent me home with one week drainage attached in my stomach. Later on I found out that the Surgon had difficulty removing my gallbladder due to sever infraction and inflammation so during the porsidure he drop some stones and he had to remove them somehow. So I don't know if all this causing me all the pain or what I just know that I am not the same person that I was before. And he keep saying that he didn't do anything wrong there. I did many tests even MRCP but all were normal Tnx God. But still in pain and suffering.
At least they found your problem and hopfuly they Can fix it and this is a good news. Xoxox
