I had mine out a long time ago, the only pain I had was my ab muscles where they cut through, other than that there was no pain. I only took ibuprofen for the discomfort. It was really an easy surgery.

Had mine out. Sore for a few days, but nothing I would categorize as pain. Was basically gone after probably five days.
However , ever since it was removed, if I eat any greasy or fatty food....there better be a turlet nearby . Like clock work within about 15 minutes of eating....its time to evacuate. Not nearly as bad as it was when I first got it out. Back then. If I eve had a craving for fried chicken or something greasy, it would trigger a visit to the bathroom. Doc said it was something to do with the brain having a craving and tell the body to prepare for processing the fat. Back then. I remember eating some chicken fingers after being released from the hospital and not really eating much for a week. Within like one minute of finishing eating, I was like oh shit. Damn near shit my pants. . Thankfully, it’s not that Acute anymore. |

You’ll be sore for a week. It will get better every day. You won’t be 100% for 10 days or so.
Look on the bright side — 100 years ago it probably would have killed you and “gut rot” would have been written on your death certificate. |

My wife had hers taken out several years ago. She didn't bitch about it at all.

So let me see if I understand this:
You just had major surgery YESTERDAY with the removal of an organ in the middle of your abdomen and today you have some pain in your...........abdomen area??? Boy, I'm not sure what to think.........maybe it's cancer. |

I do notice that this is occurring less frequently, but I make it a point that if I am in trial or have court in the afternoon, I have just an energy bar for lunch. |

For about 4 months after that if I dared eat Chinese or Mexican food at lunch or even a greasy burger it was a mad dash to the bathroom. I almost became a member of the "have you ever crapped your pants at work club". |

After I got mine out I had diarrhea for several months. My doctor put me on cholestyramine and it fixed me.

If there was an IT guy squirreling around the operating room, I think I now know where Pete hid his mask....

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. |

I'm hoping you're feeling better by today.
By the time I had mine removed I'd been having gall bladder attacks off and on for several years(it turned out). When they finally decided to do it, I was hurting enough I'd have let a honey badger chew that thing out of me so a few days of soreness and shoulder aches were well worth it. |
