Weakness and nausea 4 months after gallbladder removal

well its 4 and a half months since my gallbladder was removed. I haven't vomited in 17 days thank god. I still have the horrendous nausea on a daily basis and now i have pain were the gallbladder was under my ribs and in my back. It's a similar pain to the gallstone pain. So am now wondering what is causing this pain. I haven't had the pain since before the op but now I have it and it's very painful. Am now convinced More that ever that I didn't need to have my gallbladder removed. I have also had some indigestion but know this is common and hopefully it will go away. I am still eating very plain low fat food and haven't added anything back into my diet. Had some bile diarrhea last week and am taking psyllium husks which seem to be helping absorb the bile. I don't know how much longer this nightmare will continue. Hopefully things will settle down soon although I feel I have a long road ahead. X

Hi Ace, I've also had this unpleasantness happen to me quite recently. I had my gallbladder removed in August 2014, took two weeks of work, felt sore for the third week and I hadn't had any problems until nine months later.

When I went to the emergency room they told me it was leftover sludge from the surgery, I've been out of the hospital for about a week now but I'm still feeling nausea, tired, zero appetite, and a general uncomfortableness where my bile duct would be.

I'm thinking it's less of a side effect and more of my body still acting as if it has a gallbladder, because the way it was explained to me the liver would take over its duties.

I'm going to see my family doctor in a few weeks so hopefully I can get better answers then.

For now I hope the pain/nausea is at least tolerable for you.

I am so sorry to hear all the post surgery stories. I am 4 months post and today I was researching to see why I'm so tired, but mine is minor compared to what I am reading. I do feel much better after surgery. I had a cryst and pylop on my gallbladder so my dr took precautionary measures. I do have minor discomfort and I miss my GB but I glad it was taken as several dr said it could have turned in something worst. I had a friend and yes hers couldn't be removed as it was GB cancer. I think in time I hope all of you recover soon. Just know that it could have been worst like my friend. My only problem is a little constipation and a little tiredness. No problems with sleeping or major nauseous. I try to watch my diet but I eat everything and very little trigger my stomach. If I need to relieve myself after 2 days I will eat a trigger food. I hope my story is testimony that good days are soon to come. Always remember "this too shall pass". Good luck all.

Ace im feeling this way right now it just comes over me at times

I am currently suffering from gallstones and a fatty liver im not sure if they are combined but i found that drinking organic apple juice 8oz twice a day helps with the symptoms and also with breaking down the gallstone the acidity in the apple juice helps . And dont take omeprazole it does more damage than good it stops the production of acid which your body needs to break down food so your body stops producing as much and when you stop that medication symptoms are worst after the 5th day of stopping that medication the pain comes back with a vengeance. And also goji berry juice helps in aid with liver and gallbladder problems. I hope this helps .

Hi 

I know its been over 2 years, I was wondering if you got any better, cause I had my ga

I just read your comments about how you feel after your gall bladder surgery. I can't believe how similar your symptoms are to my daughter. She had hers out 5 weeks ago and she's miserable. She also has had every test possible. Did you find any relief and how Long did it take? My daughter  has put her life on hold as she was going to college and couldn't get through clicials due to feeling sick.
