home from gallbladder surgery

Everything went well. I had some infection stayed over night. received 3 rounds of antibiotics by IV. Had drain tube for 24 hours. Very sore and swollen but no serious pain and do not feel sick at all. Thank you for all your encouraging words and Thank you Dr. Mitchell. He is so great and encouraging. He removed adhesions and tubing from old G-tube sight. No hernias and no ulcers.

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well and hope that you will continue to recover well.

All the best,

thank you

Glad to hear that you are home and doing well. 

Thanks for the update - glad to hear all went well for you.  Hopefully you will feel much better in the next week or so.   Get some and we'll look forward to continuing good news from you.

I promise you will feel better after getting that old rotten gallbladder out.  I sure did.  :)  Your recovery sounds like it is going well. 

thank you doing great.. strange but arms are so very sore. especially shoulder area.

I'm so glad you are feeling better and everything went so well. I hope to see you at the support group next week. It should be an interesting topic.

Continued happy healing!!!

Hello! I'm in California but did a search for "gallbladder" and found this thread.

Say my surgeon yesterday complaining of nausea and poor appetite (for the past few weeks--up till now I've been fine--I'm 8 months post-op tomorrow) and ordered blood tests and an ultrasound to check my gallbladder.

He asked if I had any other pain and I almost said no, but then remembered I'd had some back pain, but told him I thought it was from exercising a lot. But when I showed him the location of the back pain, he said it could very well be my gallbladder.

So, my question for the OP is what were your symptoms? How long did they last? Basically, how did you find out you needed your GB taken out?

Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

Best,

Cindy

I was sick feeling all the time, no appetite and then began to have alot of pain in right side and middle of chest. When they performed ultra sound everything looked normal but when they did a hyda scan my gallbladder would not absorb any dye. It had died and ceased to function.
