Post Surgery problems

[baja226]

Approx. 4 months ago I had my gallbladder removed after being hospitalized for 3 days with a severe attack which turned into pancreatitis. I also have kidney disease which was diagnosed 15 years ago. Since my surgery I have suffered from severe heartburn, nausea and diarrhea. Often waking up in the middle of the night to vomit. My stools are either black or often green usually no more that liquid. Is there anything I can do to eliminate the need to stay close to home after eating a meal?  Is there possibly another cause for these symptoms? These symptoms are getting progressively worse.

If your stools are truly black, that is a sign of bleeding. If they are green, it is probably from bile. There are meds they can give you to help with the diareah to harden it up. Call your dr and get in there. You need to find out if you are anemic from blood loss with the black stool.
I get a lot of upset stomach and burning now since my gallbladder removal. It seems like my stomach is always burning and hurts all the way up to my sternum area.
My gallbladder/liver area still hurts quite a bit, and I ended up with a bad case of costochondritis from surgery that i am still dealing with.
