Question:
What symptoms do you have for a galdbladder to be removed?

I am 4 months post-op and I am having problems with the soreness around my naval. When I had my gastric by-pass in Jan-08 my doctor repaired my hernia partially but it aches my stomach all the time. I beleive I will have to get it repaired again. I go back to the doctor in July. Any suggestions I will appreciate.    — fayfay35 (posted on May 28, 2008)

I am 56 and had mine removed when I was 27. My symptoms were: pain in my back like a knife was being stabbed into it, sweating. I was a normal weight then. This usually hit me really late at night and had nothing to do with what i ate. Hope this helps.

Typical signs of gallstones may cause nausea, vomiting, right upper quadrant pain (upper right side of the abdomen), may have fever if infection present.

Right upper quadrant pain, sometimes with radiation of pain to the middle of your back or left shoulder. Fatty or spicy foods can make it worse. Nausea and vomiting can come along for the painful ride as well. Sometimes pain around the navel area can be related to your appendix as well. Call your doctor and get some tests done asap.

Everyone has different symptoms for galbladder stones or blockage. Your doctor first needs to check you liver counts, if they are high then you will need an ultrasond of your gallbadder and probably a hydroscan to check to see how the gallbadder is functioning. If the gallbadder is blocked you will feel like you have the flu. If you are passing stones you will have great back or/and side pain. If you think it is your galdbadder see your doctor as soon as possible. Lisa Dillabough
