2 months post op gallbladder problems

[jjp74]

I had my gallbladder removed two months ago.  Was doing really well until recently. All of sudden one of the incisions sites is really swollen, like a goose egg and I am still having pain in my back.  Don't really have a problem with bowel movements but have alot of acid reflux and heartburn.  I thought getting the gallbladder out would take care of all that and why am I swollen again?  Should I go back to the doctor?

Go back to the doctor right away. It is possible you have an infection. They clamp staples in and if one of those was causing irritation, it could cause inflimation. The doctor will probably want to run some scans to see what is going on.

I am still really bloated and have had loose bowel movements for over a week.  I haven't ate hardly a thing but haven't lost any weight.  My head hurts from the lack of food but everytime I eat something I get cramps and get sick.  What is going on?

I have a similar problem, I have'nt had a decent BM for six weeks now. I had a CT scan, and a endoscopy and found nothing.  when I first noticed something was wrong, I took all kinds of laxatives including a full bottle of citrite of magnesium and nothing came out!  I would have BM's less than a small puppy's  I am eating fiber, drinking water and doing everything my internist recomended, but still no relief.  I had my gall bladder out 9 months ago, but no problems shown on the Ct scan. My belly is getting noticably larger  and I need help.
