Here, we look at some burning questions you may have about gall bladder removal and life after surgery: What's the function of my gall bladder? Speak to your doctor to discuss your surgery options, or make an appointment with a specialist. Some people do bounce back with no complications after their surgery & will hope that's you.If you experience persistent and severe abdominal pain from gallstones, your doctor may recommend to have your gall bladder removed. Hope you figure out what to do if you need surgery or not & if you have surgery all goes well in your recovery. ![]() No energy & not going out because of pain & discomfort are not good for your health either. My whole way of living has changed because of it. I only ate cheese on occasion so I would have been willing to give that up for what I have now in a heartbeat. I know if given an opportunity to do it again I probably would have waited for my pain to subside & stick to my diet a little more. I say unless you are in excruciating pain after you have changed your diet I would not take my gallbladder out. Have been drinking a lot of protein smoothies from Jamba Juice. Difficult to eat because of the pain I get so sort of don't want to eat because of it but know I have too. My surgery was in October & now 5 months later I am not able to eat what I want without some problem, whether it be a quick sprint to the bathroom or holding stomach from pain of spasms or still unclear where or what the discomfort is exactly or what the medical diagnosis is and what is causing it.

I came up with this on my own and I know it sounds weird but it works for me instantly! My pain refers to the back and shoulder blade but after I do this massage technique it goes away completely. I gently place some of my body weight on the ball and rib and roll my body around so that the tennis ball massages the crampy area.

I had my gallbladder removed (cholecystectomy) two years ago and still have pain after eating foods high in cholesterol and hydrogenated fats and other processed foods. Just wondered if anyone had anything similar or if it's just a by-product of surgery that I'll have to get on with?

It doesn't seem to appear after anything in particular and most of the time it's there constantly. ![]() It's not intense pain but it's in the front RUQ under my ribs and moves round the side and to my back. Only problem is I have dull ache in exactly the same place I used to get the gallbladder pain. Had the dreaded gallbladder removed last June after only 7 months of pain (so I'm pretty lucky).Įverything went well, home the same day - took a good 4 weeks to feel totally better after the op but eating was ok and I don't seem to be affected by bowel issues like some people.
