Your so strong to have gone through this surgery and it takes bravery to make a video talking so openly about it. I love you

Your experience is depressing. I’m going through it now day 3. First day went in at 10:30 surgery was at 12:30 . Prepping me before hand. I remember the anesthesiologist.coming in my room with a needle with something in it. I asked what’s that she said something to make you relaxed. She put I in my IV and next I know I was waking up in my room later. It was about 3:30 pm and I felt great afterwards I got up got dressed and said I’m ready to go. That all happened Wednesday it’s now Friday. Thursday and today my stomach is hurting with pain. I’m hunched over holding my stomach my belly button hurts the worse that’s where they removed my gallbladder with stones. I haven’t had a bowel yet. Eating soft foods drinking lots of water. My eyesight looks blurry too. I do feel miserable. Hope you’re getting better I pray I’m better also soon. Lastly I’m not a back sleeper at all but am forced to sleep on my back. Very uncomfortable and not able to rest. I love coffee and drank yesterday and today gave me an upset stomach with pain. So I drank spring water room temp and ate a banana and that settled my stomach.. Hope all gets better for both of us

I know I had my gallbladder surgery 3 weeks ago and regretted it ever since but now am starting to feel a bit better hopefully you will feel better soon be careful what you eat it’s all the air that is pumped into your stomach that causes all the pain.

I kept going back to the er and its because i overate one day my gallbladder just swelled up and i literally rannover to the er screaming in pain they discharged me but wanted to set me up for a robotic outpatient cholestectomy and i did it, i really honor the fact you did it and i did it and we are survivors and i just like to see someone else who has went through the same process i feel like im not alone

Yesterday was my day 11 too..my experience was so similar. The doctor was really kind to me tho, and checked on me a lot after, if it wasn't for having a doctor like her I wouldn't have gone through with it at all. My moods have been all over the place too. I want to do the things I can't do yet and I know I just need to be patient. It's very difficult. I had the constant gb ache also before and now I feel the empty hole feeling too. That's one of the sad feelings im struggling with. I hope I feel so much better soon 🙏

with a faulty gall bladder an attach can hit out of the blue. so there is that disruption and uncertainty. if a gall bladder goes bad quickly, it can go gangrene and make you septic and kill you. then there is a possibility that trying to cure it may not work or take too long and make your quality of life bad in teh meantime.

Having my gallbladder removed on Oct 9 at Mayo Clinic...1 month before my 60th b-day. Wish me luck!!

I had mine removed 2 days ago. The biggest issue is the pain. The pain is absolutely horrible

I am on day 14 and my biggest issue on and off has been my breathing. I have asthma and I’m not sure if that’s being a factor but it sucks. As far as eating I’ve stuck to mostly healthy and soft foods like soup, non dairy mac n cheese, toast, veggies etc I had some chicken tenders & mashed potatoes from Culvers about a week ago and it went okay… I had Chinese chow mein about 3 days ago and felt pretty nauseous.

Same exact thing happened to me a month ago. Feeling a lot better now. Can’t wait for my medical bill lol

Thanks for the post. You are too hard on yourself but hopefully youre healing! I’m on 1 week, but I identify with so much. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing hour story.

I had my gallbladder bladder in 2008 and I’ve had trouble ever since severe digestion diarrhea all the time you can’t have a social life like going out to eat or pretty much anything.

I had high cholesterol I'm going to the doctors next Monday to get a ultrasound I feel no pain and such but I just hope it's just my way of living and nothing more!

If you think anesthesia is bad you should try having surgery without it. 😮

they pump your abdomen full of gas, that may have made it hard to breath,, if there was still gas in there.

I just had mines removed 12 days ago And I feel the exact way 😔

I just got mine removed 4days ago and I’m not able to sleep. The drs said I could eat anything but I tried eating rice and and keep burping when dozing off to sleep, the gallbladder area feels empty I keep getting fever, sweating all night and even though I feel sleepy my burping won’t let me. I’m still thinking if it was a good idea taking it off☹️😔

I had my gallbladder removed 2 days ago. I slightly regret my decision. Feel better handsome

how was the scar man?

The exact thing you had i had

The body keeps score. Get the hell out of your own head, it’s making your body worse.

Had mine out yesterday… whimp
