I just had a lap chole performed on tuesday; e days post op I am more miserable than I was prior to the procedure. The abdominal bloating and sharp abdominal pains have brought me to tears many times. After eating I immediately become bloated, nauseated and have the severe abdominal cramps. I notified the doctors office and was informed by the on call, not my surgeon that just because the gallladder is removed doesn't mean the problem is solved. Hello the symptoms I am having now are far worse prior to my procedure. He has advised me to take prilosec twice daily and gas x, not helping! I am not crazy, something is not right and I have this fear its gonna be brushed off. Help!
My advice would be to go straight back to the doctor. Waiting a week won't help. I've been like that for 4 years and it's still not letting up. I have been waiting for a review appointment at the hospital for the last 18 months and have always been told I'm on the list of patients waiting to be seen. I received a letter today and now have an appt on 1 July. After reading all of these comments, I will definitely have some great ammunition for the consultant. I'll let you all know the outcome. You never know, this time he might just prescribe a miracle cure!! (I wish)!!!!!!!!
