post gall bladder surgery

[crys24]

I had gall bladder remover 7 months ago. No problems until about a month ago & now severe gas & bloating. Is this common so long after surgery?

It's hard to say whether it's common or not, but it does happen. You may want to track of what you're eating and see if more fatty or greasy foods could be contributing to the issue. Many people find it more difficult to digest fatty/greasy items after GB surgery.

I get the same after having my gall bladder removed last May 08.I am trying a low fat diet the same one I was on before surgery but it is not helping.I am quite small and do not weigh much but my tum is fat (not loss of muscle) and is tender.
   Does anyone have a solution  for crys24 and myself please?

My doctor is sending me to a surgeon, she says he will have to take out the gallbladder, a second doctor has told me the success rate is 50/50. This is where I am so confused he says I have to have my gallbladder removed, no choice, but that the pain will likely return. He also says I have IBS. I have so much daily pain I don't think I will have a choice. I want my life back. I'm not getting any younger. I don't know what to eat or avoid, I'm tired all the time, don't sleep good at nite and feel grumpy much of the time. I'm fed up please help me.

So sorry to hear about your pain. I am trying to keep to a low fat diet as fat  makes me feel sick and bloated.

I went to the doctors today and have to go for blood tests etc at the hospital tomorrow.The thought is that I may have a gall stone in the liver as they do escape sometimes.
I do not regret having my gall bladder out, and all went well with no problems, until now, but I had to because of the attacks I was getting.
I dont really know what to say to help you as I am not a doctor, but only to tell you of my experience.
I do hope you feel better soon, and please let us know how you are getting along, and the choice you make.
