Truly how long is gallbladder surgery recovery and when do the symptoms leave?
Posted , 12 users are following.
Ok so I got my gallbladder removed in august and it's now November and I'm still not feeling good 😣. I feel fullness after I eat and feel sick. Nauseous most of the time. Whenever it goes away I try to eat but its never much as I get full so quick. What is it with this damn fullness/pressure in my stomach?! Do any one of you feel or felt like this? Also I'm not sure how to explain it but I have this weird pain when I press on my abdomen on the right side ish of my belly button. I mean if i had an infection i would know but I see no signs of that. What might be bothering my in my stomach now and what is causing these symptoms if I have no gallbladder? I can't even go to the doctor as I have no insurance currently ugh any help would be great guys.

Really sounds like you should take the advice above and take Probiotics! I started taking probiotics and multivitamin everyday after my surgery and was eating normal day 4. You may have bad bacteria built up from antibiotics during surgery and they thrive off the smallest amounts of sugar and then make it hard for good bacteria to flourish. It's like a war zone in your stomach against the good and the bad bacteria. Probiotics adds the good bacteria and helps balance it back out.

Thanks for the info Amanda! Which probiotics do you take and recommend? Will they give me no side effects? I'm just scared to take them as I already feel bad and don't want to feel worse

Oh also I have these gummy multivitamin but I'm not sure if they're the best ones out there. Which do you recommend for those as well?

Sorry for asking so many questions
I forgot to ask, do you think in around 4 days I'll start feeling a little better like you? I know the probiotics might not work right away which is why I'm asking 
. And now that I remember, I don't think I was given antibiotic during surgery or after. All I got was anti nausea medication! Which was great because I'm scared to barf lol. I forgot to mention, a week or two after surgery I was fine then after that is when I started feeling bad again. Not sure why? Do you also happen to take the probiotic and multivitamin once a day and together or if not, how?

I currently have the same problem you reported in your query. Hopefully you are better now.
How long did it take for those symptoms to be relieved? Or did they ever?
