A related discussion,
pain after gallbladder surgery was started.
Had you been having side pain or other symptoms? Did you get a surgery scheduled? I had laproscopic gallbaldder removal on July 5. I was home two hours post op. It didn't keep me down at all. I went shopping the next day. Most of my pain was gone for the first few weeks, but now I am having some of the pain I had prior to surgery. I kept telling the doctors that my pain felt like it was coming from a location lower in my side than the gallbladder resides. Since scans and tests kept showing numerous gallstones and nothing else, we decided to remove it. I had 12 good sized stones, so I am glad they won't be getting lodged somewhere. I just wish all this pain would go away. I still don't know where it's coming from. Best of luck with your surgery.
Glad to see the writings here. I have a consult with a surgeon in a few days after an ultrasound found gall spots. The nurse that called to schedule the surgeon appt didn't tell me if it was gallstones or how many etc. I am trying to educate myself and come up with questions. Sounds like my discomfort I feel now is nothing compared to what could be happening!

For the last two years I have had the worst pain in my Gallbladder area where I HAVE TO CALL 911 AS I BREAK OUT IN A SWEAT, TURN WHITE AND DOUBLE UP IN A BALL. IT COME,S IN WAVE's LASTING LIKE 5 MINTUES, THEN GOING AWAY FOR 10 THEN COMING BACK. I AM GETTING THEM EVERY FEW months now. I have got two opinons and they want to do an ERCP on me, thinking it might be my Spichtor of Odi having spasm's. I will let you know. But glad to hear that I am not the only one with this. I work for a doctor and when you know to much your mind can really run thinking it could be cancer or something aweful.
