extreme problems 2 years after gallbladder removal

I had my gallbladder removed 2 years ago, a few weeks after I had to have an ercp, bedause I had gallstones in my bile duct. Recently I began vomiting bile, having bile in my diarehea and pain in my lower right hip, around my bellybutton, and where my gallbladder was. I have not been able to eat for a month now, I can only drink meal replacement drinks, and I am still vomiting frequently and have bad diahrea. I am starting to become really week and dizzy from not eating. And also I am not sure if this is part of the problem or something totally different but I have had brown smelly bleeding, that does not seem to be associated with my period. Someone please help me I cannott live my life like this and my job is in jepardy.

I suspect you have scar tissue growing where your incisions are possibly interupting your intestines get that checked out immediately

Also get your kidneys checked for stones. When you get a stone stuck in your ureter it stops the colon completely which can cause nausea and vomiting and hellacious pain anywhere in from the kidney down. I had kidney stones and thought when the pain started it had something to do with where my gallbladder was removed the pain is almost in the same area and if you have a large stone stuck in the kidney you will feel awful. If fragments of stones are passing from your kidney to the ureter to the bladder and into your uretra there can be a lot of blood and it can smell funny too if an infection is present.  Get it all checked asap!  Good luck and God Bless!

You need to contact your doc and go in for some testing. This could be an unfortunate repeat of what you suffered after the gallbladder surgery. You need to find out if your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels are normal or elevated, and you may want to request an MRCP to start. And have the bleeding checked out.
