Since I had my gallbladder removed Im experiencing an HORRIBLE itching under my skin. Theyre only giving me benadryl for the itching but its not helping :-( IM DESPERATE I CANT EVEN SLEEP!!!! please help me :-( (my bilirubin is high and my liver enzyme levels as well :-() hopefully after the endoscopy those levels will go down.

I am truelly sorry about this....Was it absolutely necessary for the surgeon to remove your gallbladder? My little girl had her's done, after saying there was a gallstone - to saying there was NO gallstone...So now she has to live with the horrible symptoms of chronic nausea, reflux and loose stools! I am soooooooo Angry with the Surgeon.....  Her little cuts only itched for about a week .....as they were healing.... I read that you are experiencing itching inside - Tell them that benadryl doesn't work ... These Surgeons are money hungry and don't actually care about there patients..... Makes me sick :(

I would like to know why the doctor didn't check your ducts when he/she removed your gallbladder? ask the doctor to do a blood test to measure bile salts in your body! Are you eating fatty foods?
