gallbladder/diarrhea with gross weightloss
My gallbladder was removed 01/09/2011 and I weighed in at 245 pounds, since then I have had diarrhea after anything I eat I have not had a normal movement ( solid ) since the operation. I am worried that something else may be causing the diarrhea and hence the weight loss. I now weigh 175 and I am 6'1" and I havent been this thin since i was 18 years old.. and I am 56 yrs old. I am currently unemployed and have no health insurance but I am worried something bad bad bad may be wrong. help me someone
wow, you really need to get that checked out, maybe when you had your gallbladder removed they did something ( wrong) like a tear or something, my cousin had a tear from a surgery also... maybe a 2nd opinion!!
I don't have any answers for you unfortunately. I would suggest calling the general surgeon who did your cholecystectomy and see if you can make a follow up appointment. I believe you are covered 90 days post op so you shouldn't owe anything to see him. Please make sure that is the case before you see him. I hope they can give you some answers or point you in the right direction. Best wishes to you!
