Anyone have their gallbladder removed?
I just had my removed yesterday and my stomach hurts like hell. Is this normal?

I never had mine removed but deal with people who have on a daily basis, post op symptoms can vary from person to person depending on many factors, your surgery was pretty recent so it could be normal but if it persists I would call your doctor to check with him see what he thinks .
Was a lap or open surgery, where there any complications, did you have Cholecystitis , do you have a fever/chills, is the Doctor missing his watch? Last edited by Monticore; 08-04-2020 at 06:27 AM.. |

I had mine removed several years ago. I don't recall having any stomach pain, and no further issues at all. I'd be giving my doc a call just to make sure the pain is typical; plus, it'll ease your mind if nothing else.

The first thing I would do after having an organ removed and experiencing unexpected pain, is to consult with the medical experts on ChiefsPlanet.

Yes. Had mine out in 2012. A little pain is normal. You just had an organ removed. Consult your doc if it’s bad but it’s not abnormal to feel some discomfort. Best advice I ever got **disclaimer- not medical advice. Consult your doctor, etc** was to get some ox bile pills (any vitamin store like $10 bucks for a 90 day supply) and take 1-2 when I eat fatty foods like anything fried or lots of meat. Works like a charm. I just can’t do super spicy food anymore. Otherwise I eat what I want.

She simply cannot eat crappy food or fatty meat without experiencing quite a bit of pain. While that might suck for your taste buds - it's better for your overall health anyways. The pain she had right after surgery was pretty bad - hurt like hell for her to get out bed. I finally got revenge for when she was calling me out for my post-op hernia pain! |

My dad had his out a few years back, i remember he had shooting pains for a day or so after. I'd call the doc to be sure though.

It's probably a cell phone.
I had mine removed and I remember being pretty uncomfortable for a few days. I didn't take any pain pills stronger than ibuprofin. The first 2-3 days I remember pain in my shoulders from body absorbing the gas they use to blow you up like a Thanksgiving float so expect that. |

This is why you don't flirt with strange women in hotel bars.

They cut me 3 times on my right side and once near my belly button. A lot less discomfort today. All I know i am happy to take this pain over the pain i had when i went to the ER. That shit hurt. FYI, some of the shit you all said in here made me laugh soooo hard. I had to stop reading it yesterday because of how hard i had been laughing. |
