Post-Op Gallbladder Problems

[VetTechAdams]

I am a 22 year old female and I had my gallbladder removed about 2 weeks ago. Things have been going relatively normal - I eat all lowfat and stay away from what I need to in order to keep the post-op experiance the way it should. Stranger thing is, though, is that lately I keep getting these terrible heat 'flashes' that makes me feel like I'm burning up from the inside out, I get bad headaches and occasionally I feel like I may pass out. The weird thing also is that when I take my temperature it's relatively normal from between 97.6-98.5, never really over. It's so strange! I even break out into a sweat and even if I have the air on me at full blast with cold, I still can't cool down. And when I'm not boiling up, I freeze. It's like I can't get my temp to regulate at all. Could this be a symptom of post-op gallbladder removal surgery? Or is this something I need to be concerned about? Please help so I know if I need to seek help from my GI doctor or not. Thank you.

2 weeks is not a long time - you have had an orgen removed - healing takes time , if you are worried consault a dr. just to give youself peace of mind or get further invesigations - i did not experience flushes - but your dr will be able to advise!

yeah could be maaaybe a bile duct leak after the procedure?  Especially since it's this close since you had it done.   Strangely with me I can eat whatever I want after my surgery..  course i'm still sick with other problems but yeah sounds like it could be that syndrome but worth testing for (I think they do some kind of imaging to double check the surgery) if you have insurance i'd just check with the GI for a followup at least

I had my gallbladder out 2 months ago , I am prone to infection so I as to have a antibotic running during the surgery, I didn't experiences any of your symptoms. I am a nurse, call your surgry get a appointment with your family doctor he would have the results of your fining after the surg was done, and he will know what's going on. don't let this go its not normal but problably not to serious if the doctor caughts it in time. I hope you get your answers.
take care and god bless.
