- Hi, everyone! I wanted to make a video about my gallbladder removal experience for anyone who may be having similar experiences as I have! Feel free to ask me any questions about my experience in the comments :)
Watch my update video here where I talk about my new diagnosis: • Gallbladder Surgery Up...
For those that worry about surgery (first time for me) three days ago had mine removed and so far I feel so much better and the pain is not that bad, much better than than leaving the gallbladder in. For me I do not like taking pain meds but I took them for the first three days then stopped. Be sure to stay hydrated and use a stool softener as constipation is likely and will help with the bloating cramping feeling. Also, be sure to walk around a little throughout the day to help with the gas pain which should go away 24-48 hours. So far I took the advice of a BRAT diet and so far so good, no nausea or diarrhea. Lost a few pounds 10-15 lbs and can't wait to start adding new foods.
Maybe say how you are now, though!
I'm scared lol
I just go through my gallstone removal surgery 4 days back..oh Gosh ,I suffered the same symptoms, ..i was so confused, as it was not in my mind to even think about ultrasound kind of thing..i never had any type of surgery or even minor stiches on my body ever. Since my gallstone diagnosed, I worked alot to control and change my diet and life style, but nothing helped nd finally I had to go fo surgery..i m recovering gradually..Allah Gracious..i m alive and better now..but I will never forget this exp..May you all blessed with healthy life..please eat healthy and clean food..stay away from alcohol and fatty food..its my request
Im crying watching this. Im going through the same thing right now. stomach pain...headaches...back. pain..stool...Ive lost soooo much weight. skin and bones. Im so sad. Im starving.... Waiting on the referral for surgery now. Thank you for this ❤️
Hope you’re well now
I’m 22 and for my gallbladder removed yesterday! Had a lot of pain afterwards but hopefully it will never be as bad as the gallstone pain I put up with!
How about now?
I had my gallbladder removed last week.. it was crazy everything happened within a week. I thought I was having a anxiety attack but I was actually having a gallbladder attack while I was eating. So scary. I ended up so sick nauseous anytime I drink and eat. Ended up in the Er twice. I had so much pain Btwn my shoulder blades lower back and abdomen It was horrible. I had to drink broth and ensure shakes thankfully for nausea medication and prelosic for I dropped about 20 pounds till I had surgery. Glad it’s out and I feel so much better! Glad you are feeling better too!
Amanda Day oh my gosh that’s so scary! I’m so sorry you had to go through all of that so quickly! I’m glad you’re feeling better now though :)
How long did it take you to put on weight and start back eating
Sounds exactly like my symptoms!
I would get such bad bad nausea, after eating or drinking anything. I am taking Phenergan every couple of hours just to keep food down. I am now officially getting my gallbladder taken out. And I'm so excited to reclaim my life. While I'm on the operating he will also repair an umbilical hernia I have as well.
I also have lost a lot of weight. October 2019 I was 193(yes really unhealthy)
Now April 2020 I'm 144. This process has been so hard.
Today is my fourth day with it out and best thing I ever did! The never ending stabbing is finally gone❤
Hi Sara, first off thank you for sharing this! I'm scheduled for my gallbladder removal tomorrow and I'm suppose to be sleeping but the fear I have the procedure is reall! The pains are worse than child labor! Every day is a guessing game I play with food and I'm tired if it! 3 times to the ER.... I'm scared as can be but if I'm success story like you then I will forever be grateful. I just to live a normal life again..
Cassandra Roca so sorry for just seeing this! How did your surgery go? I hope your recovery is getting well!! I still have some symptoms from no longer having a gallbladder, but life is relatively normal now, and I’m very happy! I wish you all the best!!
@@saraasmr5200 Hey Sara! So my surgery was a success although the recovery process is no joke. I too have some symptoms since my surgery but I have to admit no major gallstones attacks like before. Kinda of just taking the good with the bad. Now I can help people the way you helped me. I appreciate it girl! Blessings to you!
My surgery is tomorrow and here i am watching all gallbladder removal videos in youtube😥am so nervous
Eddyth Exaud I hope your surgery went well and that you’re recovering nicely! It’ll get better!!
Thank you all so much for watching and for your comments! I wish you all the best on your health journeys! I just made an update video! I’ve recently been diagnosed with a new GI issue possibly related to my gallbladder removal surgery, and I talk about it here if you would like to check it out: th-cam.com/video/OQExxW3lLXc/w-d-xo.html
Im still waiting to get my gallbladder removed and this shit hurts 💀
Thank u for sharing your experience as my gall bladder was removed before 20 days Alhamdulillah I m feeling very well now I m just 23 years old I m from india I got discharged from hospital after 24 hours a little bit pain for 1 week but now I m eating everything like food solid liquid etc lower fatty foods nd I m doing my work comfortably
Hi there please do let me know were you unconscious the whole time during your surgery do they give anesthesia and how much pain we feel after operation
Thanks Sara, this was great! I had my gallbladder removed 2 days ago. Same pain as you. Made the mistake of lying down the first day on the couch and wow, took me FOREVER to get up. That abdomen pain...Yikes! I haven't slept well at all, but other then that just tight abdomen pain. and yes, can't cough, burp, hiccup, laugh to hard, hurts to much! lol Thanks again, I'll to see it you have a follow up now.
Thanks for the heads up!!
I’m doing my surgery in 3 days thank you for sharing your experiences with us
You're so welcome! Good luck with your surgery, you're in my thoughts! Let me know how you feel afterwards :)
@@saraasmr5200 I go Wednesday how did yours go
Thank you so much for this!!!!!! I have been crying for a week now thinking I'm dying and going to leave my child without her Mama 💔 but SO THANKFUL to know that all my symptoms are Gallbladder related. I have done all the research and no that this is what is going on with me and that I need to get my gallbladder removed. I'm at the beginning process with my doctors and they haven't even looked into my gallbladder. They have started me on Prilosec and something for the stomach spasms. Desperate for answers I found your video and it is very comforting to know it will all be over soon and that I will live! 😊🙏
I need mine taking out and was so worried until i heard you story i am a bit like you with pain so i hope i can stick with it for the first week or so then i will be fighting fit again
The pain is not pleasant as with all surgeries but it is definitely bearable! You just have to remember the surgery pain is only temporary! I hope all goes well with your surgery and health!
Me too, am so worried
Thank you so much for telling your story and for your follow up videos a few months along. This has really helped me. Especially how clearly and concisely you have described your symptoms, surgery and experience. I'm having trouble with my gallbladder. I had really bad symptoms for a year before the doctors could figure out that it was gallstones. Because of COVID and my young age, I didn't want to get it removed yet. So I tried removing fat from my diet and I changed jobs so my stress levels were significantly reduced. I was also taking Nexium which helped all the nausea and the food running through me diarrhoea (thank you saying that no one really believed that my diarrhoea was so bad that 20 minutes later after whatever I ate, I would have diarrhoea) Things got better for a few months. No diarrhoea and just being able to eat actual food again was amazing but now my gallbladder symptoms are flaring up more often again so I'm thinking it may be time to get my gallbladder removed. Thank you for sharing your story. Even though you developed EPI later, your story is really encouraging and I think you made the right decision to have your gallbladder removed. 🤗
Here is a full list of symptoms I experienced if anyone reading is interested (it's not just back pain and diarrhoea like the internet says)
-nausea
-wicked bad heartburn
-migraines on the right side of my head that last for days
-right should pain
-pain and cramping on top right of abdomen
-cramps or stabbing pain in my stomach (top left abdomen)
- uncontrollable diarrhoea of course
I wish you nothing but the best in your recovery
bradlez -uk thank you so much, I appreciate it! ❤️
I’m also so nervous about the anesthesia
I have to get mine out soon and I’m a cry baby as well and I hope it’s just like you said, fall asleep and then next thing you know you’re opening your eyes and it’s over 😫
I’m so scared
I also don’t wanna wake up talking funny
I’m so sorry for the late response! I really hope your surgery went well!! ❤️
My Ejection Fraction is 98%. I think I need my gallbladder removed but my Gastro doctor said anything over 40% is normal.
Are your symptoms gone? How are you feeling now?
Well it's very helpful for those who gone though ..want to ask about after reactions wat u facing in digestion etc..
What about your vitamin d level after gall bladder surgery?
I would love a follow up. How are you feeling 4 years later? Any complications living without a gallbladder?
I’ve had some other health complications, including development of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency as well as a stomach ulcer that I’m having trouble getting rid of. It’s unclear if this was caused by gallbladder removal or an underlying issue that is causing all of my GI issues. I’m getting some tests done next week and hoping to get some answers and make an update video soon!
Thank you so much for making this video. I have been feeling nauseous nonstop for 2 months now. I’ve had attacks where I have to run to vomit but nothing comes out. Horrid pain if I eat fats in my upper right quadrant and shoulder blade. Had an ultrasound, CT scan, MRI, gastroscopy and am being sent for a hida scan. I’m getting those horrible spasms in my upper right quadrant too after every mouthful of food or drink, I think mine might be overactive too. Thank you for your advice!
Oh no, dont do anything for a week except for the walking. Dont over exert yourself. You'll be in pain and regretting it!
How are you doing without it now?
I’m having my gallbladder surgery in 4 days. I’m very scared. This is my first time having a serious surgery. I’ve had surgery before, but it was just a simple surgery. Hopefully everything goes well on Monday 🙏🏻😰
Dont do it guys if you can avoid it. Life will not be the same.
Thank you so much for this video!!
Real and detailed! XO
I think I have this, i’m just scared to go to the doctor because I have a big fear of surgery
Thanks for sharing you are so brave. It was good to hear you tried everything before the final decision. God bless you👼🌼💗
I also have a diseased gallbladder with no stones I get mini attacks but just had a big one today which caused a fever. I get mine out September 11th I so can't wait
Cariann Nicole Hope all goes well with your surgery!! ❤️
What colour was ur stool when u had ur gallblader issue please?
How were your test reports before surgery ? What about SGPT ?
I just had mine removed 2 days ago and surprisingly it's a really small yet dangerous galstone. I'm recovering now and do you have any advice on how to get that sharp right shoulder pain that's connectee to the pain in the surgery area?
I had exactly the same symptoms for a year and a half. I had to go to emergency last week. The doc said yep it's your gall bladder let's get it out. Going in next week to remove the sucker. Getting rid of the pain will be heaven.
I hope you okay now
@@subham26 Yep all good thanks. Took about 3 weeks to be back to 100%
Did you experience pain near your right ribcage and right side of your back?
So sorry for the late response! I did experience that exact pain. I also had this in my left side as well.
@@saraasmr5200 I know this is older, but when you say you had discomfort on left side too....how would you explain that? If you don't mind pls!? Trying to go through my symptoms🙃
Hi, did you have a lot of fatigue.
I get mine out on June 2nd. It’s been a long 8 months. My gallbladder is functioning at 86%. Maybe that’s why it feels like I have really bad acid reflux? Antiacids never worked and my endoscopy was normal. The doctor said my stomach was just a little inflamed and my bile thing was fine. God I really hope it goes away after my surgery and the nausea. Like I just want to feel normal again
How are you feeling now ??
@@reynagonzalez8983 im feeling much better now. I still get some acid reflux but I’ve been taking a supplement called and I think it’s been helping me. I can really tell the difference without the gallbladder. I can also finally work out or be in the sun without feeling nauseous. Omg and brushing my teeth doesn’t make me nauseous anymore either!(edit: I forgot the name of the supplement hold up)
@@reynagonzalez8983 the supplement is called meta mucil psyllium fiber supplement
I'm having my surgery in 6 days and I'm so scared 😭
If anyone sees this, I had my surgery. I was ready scared, but the anxiety meds they gave me helped and so did my nurse holding my hand. My stomach really doesn't hurt, but my eyes do. They taped my eyes so they wouldn't open during surgery and get too dry, but they did anyways and now they hurt. My eyes are the only thing bugging me and I'm one day post-op. Yesterday my belly was fine too. Been sleeping on my belly also and it doesn't hurt to do it and it's very comfy. I can eat anything and at anytime. I don't have gallstones anywhere else in my body (they checked during surgery), so I never have to worry about having that pain ever again. If you are having gallbladder issues and you're thinking about getting it out, do it! You will wish you did! I also don't have any diarrhea whatsoever and am only taking Advil or Tylenol since it doesn't hurt too bad
@@fightermma I can eat exactly the same way as I could before I had my gallbladder issues. I'm back to normal and it's great. I'm not afraid nor do I hate eating anymore. It was a great decision.
@@fightermma that's a little weird lol.
@@fightermma as you can probably tell from my photo, I'm married. So I'm not interested 🤷🏻♀️
Sarah Bussey hahahahahaha burnnnnnnn I have to get surgery for my gallstones. Right now I’m in so much pain while watching this and hope to get surgery soon. I had surgery before for my appendix, must be very similar to the gallbladder cause I was doing some research. I’m a bit scared and I’m only 17 :( I just hope to get the surgery done so I won’t feel this pain anymore 😭 and Btw you look very pretty in that dress!! Congrats on your marriage and don’t let these weirdos get to you!
Thank you VERY much for sharing!!! Your story is 100% me also, down to ever detail!
Your video has been comforting for me. So, thank you for sharing. How afraid of the anesthesia were you? I’m 10/10. I’ve had panic attacks, and that’s the only time I’ve had panic attacks. Being so afraid, do you think the meds they give you before taking you back will calm me down? Do they work enough to calm very extreme anxiety? Thanks
Hi, Jordan! I also have terrible anxiety about anesthesia, and I was crying uncontrollably and shaking before I went into surgery. They had to give me two doses of Ativan to calm me down, and after that second dose, I didn’t care about anything at all and was much calmer! I definitely think it will be helpful for you!
@@saraasmr5200 thanks!
Hi i have 2 gallstones 16mm and 12mm I'm really scared to under go surgery i never had any kind of surgery i don't know what to do😭
Umer Pak I’m sorry you’re going through that! With my case I didn’t have gallstones. I would ask your doctor if there are any alternative treatments before surgery but if there aren’t, I promise the operation isn’t too bad! I wish all the best for you and whatever decision you make!
@@saraasmr5200 thank you so much for the advice and i hope you are doing much better now💜
Umer Pak thank you, I am feeling so much better! Keep me updated on whether you decide to get surgery! :)
Hey, I have a lot of gallstones. I'm getting my gallbladder removed in 6 days. I'm really scared, but the pain is unimaginable. I've had a baby and that was way easier. There is no medicine to dissolve the stones. They're not like kidney stones and don't work the same way. You can do some type of vibration treatment, but the problem with that is that it will break the stones up, and they can pass through the tubes in your body, get stuck and cause problems with your other organs. The surgeon said having gallstones are fine, but once you feel pain, that is a gallbladder attack and it needs to go immediately. Gallbladder attacks will only continue to happen and are unpreventable.
@@Sarah_Bustyy how did it go ?? Let me know ;D I'm getting mine out on Friday I'm so nervous ..terrified.
how many weeks it took to be completely normal? like doing all kind of exercises ?
Your sweet and super helpful
I’ve just had mine out
On Christmas Day 2021, I found myself in the ER suffering from the most extreme pain I’ve ever felt in my life. I was diagnosed with Acute Cholecystitis (gallbladder disease) and my pain and inflammation was so outrageous there was no question about it; I needed my gallbladder removed urgently. The surgery was difficult to recover from for me, mainly due to all the carbon dioxide that my body was trying to expel. Breathing was very painful and difficult, as I had to keep my posture straight upright in order to be able to breathe at all hardly. I found myself using “lazy breathing” which is when you are taking shallow breaths so as to not incorporate your diaphragm or stomach (deep breathing gave me an awful “pinching” sensation that was ungodly painful). After about 2 weeks, I was fully recovered and eating whatever I wanted again. I have not experienced any problems due to it being removed. No issues at all. Perhaps maybe a bit more sensitive to greasy foods, but very mildly. Not enough to get in my way 😂.
Thank you. This is very insightful. I have surgery in a few weeks and none of the post surgery woes have been mentioned
Hi its 2023 how are you now im 62 and never had gallbladder trouble until 3 weeks ago im out of hospital waiting for surgery i had an obstruction of my gallbladder and it caused a liver infection the pain the day it happened was unbearable, i spent 9 days in hospital and it has settled apart from that strange uncomfortable feeling in the lower right side of my rib cage.
You literally are me right now I’m going through all of this I’m 25 just had a baby have constant pain in my shoulder blade and under my rib cage no stones from ct scan and ultrasound but I have all the same symptoms as you except I’m breastfeeding. Also never been an unhealthy person also worked out.i am also 5’8 and weigh 130 pounds and keep losing weight
Jamie Henke I feel you completely. Im a first time mom and have a 3 month old now. Maybe it was the change of diet and figuring out when to fit meals I after long nights but I went from 185 to 145 pounds. I thought it was great but I had 3 attacks and the 3rd one had me call 911 because it was horrible. My cry showed there was one stone blocking the duct. And the sludge. The Hida scan came back okay so I got the endo scan and took out the stone. The following day I got my gallbladder out to prevent future attacks.
Oh wow, I have heard of a lot of people experiencing problems after pregnancy! I hope everything is alright and that you’re able to get your symptoms with or without surgery!
I go for my HIDA scan on Monday hoping to get all this taken care of soon I feel like a damn skeleton at this point been going through this since sept 11th my baby is now 4.5 months old. I miss eating lol mine isn’t exactly an attack feeling just always an ache and indigestion
Hi! Just had my gallbladder removed. I'm. 77. Yes, could not get up off bed easily. Stomach muscles affected.
How are you today?no issues
I had hiatal hernia surgery last september and now almost a year later, im having gallbladder removed in two days. Im having a lot of bloating and constipation/diarrhea and pain in the middle near sturnum after I eat. And back pain. Im hoping this pain will be nowhere as bad as the hernia repair. Seven incisions with hernia repair where gallbladder will only be four incisions. I know to use gasX for the air and bloating and stool softner bc of the pain pills.
I'm getting my surgery 1 week from tomorrow and it's my first surgery ever. Watching your video makes me less terrified and nervous now. Thanks so much for putting me at ease!
determinazn you’re welcome!! I’m glad this has helped you feel less nervous, and I wish you a speedy recovery! :)
determinazn how’d it go? How’s the recovery
great vid..me almost same.... did u try creon if it helps? i just had surgery 2 days ago...also significant weight loss and steatorreah for a year before i was diagnosed...
I had mine removed 2 weeks ago. Still healing.. but feeling better.
Had my HIDA scan yesterday, they couldn’t see my gallbladder at all, waiting to see what they are going to do. I’ve lost so much weight and can’t eat
Mines is the same exact story mine was taking so long so they use a little bit of morphine just to see it go through. So I was diagnosed with cholecystectomy and had surgery two days ago. So hopefully I can gain my weight back I’m currently stuck between 126 and 128 from my main weight of 156
@@jackpeople6415 they never gave me morphine during HIDA. But my result was Biliary Dyskinesia. To see surgeon Wednesday
Went back to ED tonight as the pain was out of control, however because my infection markers were ok, they decided to give me a shot of morphine in the butt and send me home and wait for surgeon appointment Wednesday.
I’m going for my gallbladder removal surgery in exactly one week. I’m looking forward to it because I’m tired of having to watch what I eat due to fear of going through the immense pain of a flare up. Kinda nervous but determined right now.
Hi, i had mine removed two days ago. I feel a little bit of pain still but awful rumbling going on in my tummy.
@@annmariehannigan7450 it’s been exactly 6 weeks today for me. I’m in absolutely no pain anymore and I’m back to the gym. The rumbling will go away fairly quickly. Definitely get out and walk every day. Not to get too graphic but my #2 schedule is more often, like 2 times a day, which is unusual for me. Other than that, I’m all good!
@@cptcurk192 Thanks for your reply, i feel like i have done 1million sit ups 😂 Glad to hear you are back to yourself again, im very impatient, its been 3 days and i already want to go back to work. Today was my first #2 movement. No problems there thank God. Havent been eating much, i just dont feel hungry. Going to try refrain from pain meds today and see how i get on. Wish you a lifetime of health from here on in 😁
@@annmariehannigan7450 the pain meds are a huge help but they’ll deceive you into thinking you’re all good. I stopped them after 2 days and it got pretty painful but I toughed it out. Take it slow and deliberate and don’t be in such a rush to get back to work. I was stir crazy but TH-cam helped tremendously. Good luck to you and be happy!

How long did it take for you to recover? I have the Alcatraz Sharkfest swim in August 26, have my surgery Thursday July 6. Hoping to recover in time to do Alcatraz swim, was gonna wait to do surgery after August 26 but its too much misery to deal with.
Hey Sara, I had mine removed 3 days ago and I just wanna ask when did you start lifting normally/heavy? I used to lift a LOT and now I feel like even if I recover I need to start from scratch. I’d appreciate any tips or advice!
Update: I’m 19 days in and I’m working out like I never had the surgery pain free
@@dannyassoum I apologize for the late response! Wow I’m glad you were able to get back to it so quickly! It look me about a month and a half to get back to heavy lifting, but my pain threshold is very low.
@@saraasmr5200 heyy it’s totally okay and ive been muchhh better ever since thankfully, put on 15kg of muscle ever since! (Most of that was from muscle memory) my diet has also been very good too and I feel better than I’ve ever felt weirdly enough. My endurance did go to sh*t tho I’m still trying to recover that :/
@@dannyassoum I’m glad you feel much better and have gained weight! Hopefully your endurance will get better eventually! I unfortunately developed a new GI issue and lost all the weight I put on after gallbladder removal, but I’m finally able to eat again and hopefully will get back to working out soon!
@@dannyassoum what were your symptoms before getting your gallbladder removed
My goodness I'm glad you're okay now you did the surgery so happy to hear that you are doing good God bless just found out I have gallstones but I'm 7 months pregnant I've had two experiences are ready it hurt like hell so just checking out to see what everybody thinks about getting it done
Oh wow, I hope you’re able to find some relief soon!!
hi! I have my Gallblaccer removed too! subscribed already ms. Sara
We are covering the Gallbladder diseases on Monday in PA school, so I stopped studying to watch this!!!
Bibliophile ASMR you’re very welcome! Good luck with your studying! :)
Just got mine out this morning.
Gas and abdominal pain😖
Hoping for a speedy recovery.
Did you get 💊
I’m having mine removed Monday 2/7/2021. I just had my first painful attack last Sunday and haven’t ate since because I’m terrified because of the pain. I wouldn’t wish that pain on my worst enemy! I’ve lost 20lbs in six days.
Oh my gosh, that’s sounds awful to go through! Hopefully you’ll find a lot of relief from the surgery!!
@@saraasmr5200 The first couple days after surgery were painful but I'm much better now. There was a complication with my surgery so there putting a stent in my bile duct on Feb 25th because its leaking.
Thank you so much for posting this . I’m getting my removed soon and so nervous !!!
Mine is ejecting at 85%! I'm getting mine out this week. I've had stomach issues for YEARS now, and I'm only 21. My issues would come and go, too, which made it hard for my doctors to diagnose. I would get SO nauseous all the time and think I had a stomach virus. I also had pain.
Ms Josie! 👋 Did removal help??? My EF is 85% also. Any advice?
@@lukeskywalkerlucasfilm yes it cleared up my stomach pain and issues!! The surgery was super easy and not hard to recover from. I just took it slow. Also, the surgeon said that my gallbladder had a lot of scar tissue around it. That and the fact that it was ejecting at 85% made him believe that it was very sick. Best of luck with yours!
@@josiesullivan6204 Thank you Ms. Josie!
Mine is at 86%, do you also experience really bad acid reflux with it. Like your stomach just burns out of no where or worse when you eat. If so did it go away after the surgery? Because this surgery is basically my last hope, no antiacids or changes to my diet help with it :(
@@ccbred I did not, but I'm sure the surgery will help you! It helped me so much
Hey. I would like to ask you a question last year in September i had my gallbladder surgery. I was doing for about 2 weeks. But as i was away from home so my parents weren't there to help me. As it was my first surgery so after the surgery i suffered from panic attacks, chronic stress and anxiety. After i recovered my anxiety i am having bloating quite much, gas build up, belching, pain in my middle of abdomen and acidity, loss of appetite and hiccups, sometimes constipation and sometimes diarrhoea. I get myself checked but doctors aren't very responsive. What do you suggest. I want to get back to my normal self.
Mubashra Humayun I had heartburn and nausea after surgery and for that I was prescribed Nexium, which really helped. But I didn’t have all the other symptoms you’re having and I’m not a doctor, so I’m really not qualified to give you medical advice for this. The best thing I would say is to follow up with your surgeon or see another GI specialist. I know it’s frustrating, and I hope you’re able to find helpful doctors!
Change your diet, no greasy foods,no dairy, no red meat, no white breads, no caffeine,no soda,more fiber,more veggies, more water,more good fats, fish,chicken. Apple cider vinegar may help your acid reflux.
Thank you for the video, I’m having surgery soon. This video has been one of the most relatable. I’ve been dealing with my issues for almost a year. Thank you. 😊
N E D you’re very welcome! I hope everything with your surgery goes well! :)
I’m having my surgery in a few weeks and I’m very scared. How is life afterwards? I’m watching a lot of videos and I see a lot of GI issues, thyroid issues, vitamin absorption issues. Have you experienced any of these post opt issues?
@@sunikababel8814 I had my gallbladder removed in January of 2020. Things seemed so much better right away however living without my gallbladder brings about new challenges. I’m a bit sensitive to certain foods just like before having it out. High fat meals still bother me. Sometimes it feels as if my gallbladder is still a bother. I highly suggest taking a good digestive enzyme supplement before each meal. I will link the one that I currently use I buy it on Amazon I’ve tried a few and this particular one seems to work best. After having my gallbladder out I watched a lot of TH-cam videos about liver support because that is so important to do once you are without a gallbladder your liver needs bile l. However if your gallbladder isn’t functioning properly your liver is already suffering. My liver enzymes never have shown up in blood work to have issues but I can tell a huge difference when I’m taking supplements that support my liver. Milk thistle and dandelion root are helpful in aiding with that. I believe that all my gallbladder issues started when I was put on the pill for ovarian cysts that I was getting. From the research that I have done synthetic hormones like the ones you get from birth control can have all kinds of side effects because your liver has a hard time breaking down synthetic hormones. That is what I am linking my gallbladder issues to. I understand each person is different but I find it a little odd that call bladder surgeries are more common for women. 🤷🏼♀️ had I known all this before my gallbladder surgery I probably would have just stopped taking the birth control and maybe have done some good liver detoxing. I will link the digestive enzymes for you I hope my information has helped.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Getting mine removed tonight or tomorrow and your video really helped me :)
I apologize for the last response, but I hope your surgery went well!
Thank you thank you so much you're giving me so much hope 💯💯💯💪💪❤❤💯👑👑💖🙏🙏🙏🎵🎵
Super crazy oh my gosh! Mine was the opposite! Low functioning and I seriously would dry heave and gag throughout the whole day. This went on for three months this year starting at the end of August. Had surgery and was told my gallbladder was seriously so inflamed I even had a freakin tumor growing inside and filled with cholesterol along with adhesions. It was so traumatizing I seriously couldnt go out in public and look like a dummy dry heaving or gagging in front of them. Absolutely hated driving! Ugh it made it so much worse. Anyways had surgery on October 26. Im doing better but im still slightly nauseous and will gag mainly in the mornings some days. Good lord what a mess! I hope im recovering still really want to get better 100%. I weighed 220 (with a lot of muscle mass) and dropped to 175. Yep
Were you able to eat food still and if you don’t mind me asking where your stools abnormal.... how did you find out you were having issues did you have the pain as well what were your symptoms prior?!
@@geeyaboo1017 hey Geeya! The scary part about this whole mess was that I never had pain! Zero pain! In my mind, thoughts of pancreatic cancer or some cancer were constantly racing! Really thought I was gonna die or if it was covid. Thats where im just not sure what the hell this mess was. I just woke up felt really full and had this overwhelming urge to vomit which never happened. Couldnt even swallow saliva or else I would be retching! So crazy, I never threw up once with the retching.
Yes I was able to eat but the full feeling would bother me a lot and couldnt eat anything. There would be days in between where I felt completely normal too. Never had any bathroom issues and dont have any after surgery. I was also burping too damn much as well! Feeling a whole lot better but there’s always one day or two in a week where I still feel mildly nauseous and start retching but it’s gotten so much better! Im able to finally eat chocolate chip cookies with no issues but im still eating plain. Lol sure do not want to backpedal to that day. My god it was a mess. Really felt like someone hit the pause button on me. Had to stop work and school completely!!
@@AyyRalphy thank you for sharing Such a blessing your feeling better
@@geeyaboo1017 I read your comments! Really hope they find out what’s wrong! Pancreatitis can also result from gallbladder issues or bile duct issues. If they cant figure it out it also may be what’s called Sphincter of Oddi. It’s the little passage where the bile and pancreatic digestive juices flow out! Really hope you feel better! It’s hell and out with this mess!
@@AyyRalphy Thank you so much I never would’ve thought about that I’m just praying that they figure out what’s wrong and then it’s something minor it’s scary having to wait to find out what the issue is
After gallbladder surgery Those wo can digest eggs and other fatty foods like before give a like
I have to do the surgery after a few days but I feel scared because I didn’t do any surgery before
At least the eating wont be as bad as the hernia surgery. I had to be 3 wks on liquid diet.
I have all the symptoms that you had!! Having my gallbladder out on Monday 😢I’m scared
I understand the pain. I’m 14 and had mine out a couple weeks ago. Functioning at 11% 🥳🤠
Whaaat?
Do you have chronic diarrhea since your surgery? I’m scared to get my gallbladder removed, but it’s inflamed.
NaturalHI I don’t have chronic diarrhea. I take digestive enzymes with every meal and sometimes I’ll have looser bowel movements if I forget to take them with a meal but for the most part, they are normal.
Sara ASMR - Thank You for sharing your gallbladder experience with us. ❤️from Hawaii.
I had two weeks of chronic diarrhea after surgery - rushed to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Truly awful. Thank goodness my PCP prescribed Colestaurine which helped a lot. The surgeon was useless. He just had his little assembly line going and anything different from his expectations was ignored. I think it's better to know all possible outcomes before surgery.
Thank you so much for this video. It's's been so so so so so so so so so so helpful. I appreciate it
Thanks so much for making this video!! Your story is so similar to what I’m going through now and I’m about to get my surgery. Do you think you could do an update on how it is post surgery a few months after?
Summer House I apologize for never seeing this! I made a video about 4 months after, and will make another one approximately a year after in March! :)
Hi thank you so much for your video I have my operation coming up in a few days does anyone else experience pain on the left side ? Would really appreciate replies
I just had mine removed 5 days ago. I also had discomfort on the left side , had a liver biopsy with the removal because of an enlarged liver
@@AndeSmiLeS_0809 I had my done on Monday hun 2 days ago how are you feeling?
Dee Dees I’m coming along . Some burning stabbing pain on the biggest incision ( i got 4) walking around much easier still cant sit, stand or cough without feeling like imma Rip it open . But discomfort is down to a 4 , Def need help during this times hard to do alone .
How r u coming along ?
@@AndeSmiLeS_0809 similar to you I had pain in the left side before the op did you experience pain in the left before the op ? And I hope you will improve more each day.
Dee Dees Yes , for over a year I had pain on both right n left n felt a bulge on my right ( often felt like it was having spasms)
Today seems to be a better day . Hoping you are doing well also . Wishing u a speedy recovery 😊
I had my HIDA scan yesterday, not talked to doctor yet. I am hoping they found my abdomen pain problem. I am worried about vitamin deficiencies after possible surgery.
I’m 17 and I’m getting a hida scam tomorrow morning. I’m the type of person that freaks out at everything. So I’m kind of scared but everyone I’ve talked to says it’s not bad and I’ve done a little research on it so I feel better about it.
Im a 40 year old Obese Man and it seems Im gonna need my Gallbladder removed and im worried that they don't want to perform surgery on me for being 310 pounds..I just had developed this problem at the end (December) of 2021 and been taking gallbladder attacks(gallstones) from time to time.
Pray for me that I will get my gallbladder removed.
My Doctor scheduled me for Surgery and she will let me know in 2 months from now, but I fear that the Surgeon might reject my claim...I hope not.
Hey! How did your surgery go? Are you better now?
I had my gallbladder taken out a year ago, I also had lost a ton of weight, I lost about 40 pounds. I have only gained 8 pounds since it came out. I have such a limited diet. I had gull-stones the size of a golf ball. Before I had my gallbladder taken out, I too was very weak, and I could barely eat, maybe once a day.
I’m only 15 and have to get mine out in a couple weeks because my gallbladder ain’t working like it should it’s working at 29% they said and I’m really nervous for the surgery
I've had the same symptoms like you. And had my gallbladder removed yesterday 27 of December 2019. The best thing I've ever got done. Well done love for putting this video up it's really helped me explain some symptoms. Getting nocked out was the worse bit as well for me. Thanks for putting this video up well done girl.
How was it I'm getting mine removed and I'm scared
@@codysillas6867 it's not bad at all tbh I was just more scared of being put to sleep. But it's so quick try not to worry about it just chill and you will be fine trust me. Once you wake up you may or may not have a little bit of pain. But that's soon sorted out with some pain killers. You will be a bit rough for a few days after but just remember it's worth it trust me keep us posted on your story. Good luck and don't worry. Best of luck with it.
@@chriscantrell894 yes I will keep you post it I'm waiting on my surgeon date I berly called right now for a appointment it's the 22 of this month
@@codysillas6867 just don't worry mate. Trust me it's worth it in the long run. I am in the UK and and I think you have better health care lol I went private to have mine done and it was not cheep 😂
@@chriscantrell894 😂😂 I'm not worried about the coverage it's just the procedure like I'm scared I'm from Houston the doctors over here are ok but I dont have another choice to hold my nuts and get it done
Hi Sara…I’m Ann from east coast Canada. On July 21st, I woke up with diarrhea and throwing up and in a lot of pain. I got so weak that mom had to call for an ambulance. To make a long story short, they diagnosed me with gallstones, pancreatitis, and spots on my ovaries. I will be going for a doctor’s follow-up on Aug 12th to discuss what to do next. My doc said don’t be surprised to have two surgeries in the near future.
Don't worry May ALLAH Almighty heal and cure you completely and give you good health happiness and prosperity I will pray for you may you be fully healed Ameen suma Ameen❤
It was great information because i am having same symptons
Yeah .l had mine out and thank God no more abdominal pain...the worst pain imaginable
Anyone that has their gal bladder removed but has really bad indigestion and depression after the surgery should go to the doctor and find out if they have the bacteria "h pylori " it causes those symptoms ..most people who have gal stones also have that bacteria.. they will give you antibiotics to get rid of it..try to get rid of it naturally though cuz there are ways..antibiotics can get you really feeling bad
I just got my gallbladder out today and the pain is horrible in my shoulder and abdomen And I feel like I have to throw up every time I get up
Here anybody had ERCP + gallbladder surgery ?
I can relate to a lot of what you said here. I haven't had my gallbladder removed, but i received an Ejection Fraction of 95% on my recent Hida.
That’s hyperkinesia. Consider getting it removed
Can please tell me how did your gallstone got detected? By Ultrasound or Endoscopy? When I press my finger on my gallbladder area I can literally feel some solid thing in my gallbladder area. And pain Lasts for 6-7 hour.
For me they did an ultrasound
Did you eat a lot of cooked vegetable oils or saturated fats like butter, sushi, fatty meat?
Good info and congrats on feeling better. Can you digest fats well now, or do you still have to keep it low? Thanks.
classic1984 yes I can digest fats much much better now! If I eat too much greasy/fast food in a day I feel a bit nauseous, but I expected that to happen. My diet is basically back to normal now. Thanks for the comment!
Sara ASMR How long did I take for your diet to go back to normal?
Rome Green after about two weeks I was able to go back to my normal diet. However I dealt with a lot of heartburn at first and had to take Nexium everyday for a few weeks. I also dealt with bad bloating and gas when I’d eat but after I started taking a digestive enzyme, I’ve been able to eat what I want for the most part with no problems.
Headaches are the worst for me! I am getting mine removed next week.
I have an ultrasound scheduled in a few days. Did you have any severe indigestion or burping? Everytime I eat i burp SO much, and I’ve never had indigestion before but it was such a terrible burning pain. My lower back and the middle of my abdomen has hurt so much, I’m super bloated and tired all the time. I hope it’s my gallbladder and I can just get it removed, I’m so tired of the pain....
I feel the same. What’s your diagnosis??
I am a little late, but I do have a question. Did you need your doctors okay to go back to work and drive again? How long did it take you to drive again after getting your surgery?
I don’t remember needing my doctor’s okay to go back to work, I just wasn’t allowed to start driving until I stopped taking the painkillers they prescribed me. I think I started driving/went back to work again 6-7 days later, once I was off pain meds and mostly recovered.
I’m 23 and had my gallbladder removed two days ago!
