Did anyone have an operation like me without a stone?

Hi I'm 28 years old.

I had my gallbladder removed 45 days ago.

I went to the emergency room several times when I was sick. I felt nauseous, I vomited, and I couldn't eat because of the pain in the pit of my stomach during 2 weeks. But the emergency room doctor said there was no gallstones. So I was diagnosed with gastritis and returned home several times. When I went to the emergency room of the university hospital, they said the gallbladder was swollen. They said it looks like acute acalculous cholecystitis. So I had my gallbladder removed. I have not fully recovered yet. But I wonder suddenly if there is someone like me.

There are many who have removed gb for inflamed gallbladder, how do you feel after gb removal?

I had mine removed 3 weeks ago, no stones.  I was having horrible nausea after eating and a dull ache in my shoulder blade.   They did a hida scan three years ago that showed it was good.  I finally insisted on a second one recently that showed it was very bad and had chronic inflammation.  My nausea is gone smile

There are still a few symptoms. I still feel a little bit sick. But it's not as bad as before the surgery. Are there many people like me who have no stones? I didn't know.. smile

wow You're like me! what are you eating? The doctor said I can eat everything. But I think I'd better be careful. so I'm having a low fat diet. how about you? smile

I am 3 weeks post o.p tonight. Did not have any stones. Horrible nausea and pain in my back. After blood work and tests the hida scan showed my gallbladder was not functioning properly. Still have a poor appetite.

So did I. Horrible nausea and pain ToT....

I didn't test the hida scan. Only CT.

Seven weeks after my operation, I still feel uncomfortable in my stomach. 😭 I'm pretty sad..

No stones on first ultasound. No stones on CT. Tiny little stone on second ultrasound but thickened wall. 

Now awaiting surgery.

I know. I thought I'd be feeling better!

When is. Your surgery?

Good luck

Meeting the surgical registrar on the 28th of this month. It's taken me 15 months of complaining of  feeling really unwell to get this far, so hope it's not to long a wait after that.

Hi Matt - How things are going ? is you severity in symptoms got reduced or still the same ? 

13

Still the same nausea, upper back pain, dark urine, light colour poops, bloated. The ache in my flank and ribs is constant. I feel so weak, i've been dizzy 24/7 for 27 weeks solid today and seem to hurt all over. My Dr has been no help speeding anything up or helping me and i'm going to sue when it's over!

How's things with you? Have you come to a decision about surgery?

14

I believe we are getting better.

Let's wait a little longer smile

15

the 28th of this month? Oh...It's taking so long..I was sick for two weeks before the operation. But It was too hard..I hope something good happens to you.

16

Im not eating much of anything as I still have no appetite- soup, banana s, potatoes, applesauce. Started drinking smoothies with protein powder and almond butter.

17

protein powder? Does the doctor say you can eat protein? My doctor told me to limit protein intake.

I think I can't eat anything...😂😂

They say I can't eat fat, meat, protein.

What on earth should I have?

Hi Zoe,

I had my gallbladder twelve months ago. I did not have gallstones but an enlarged gallbladder which was diseased. I am currently having an issue with reflux acid and constantly vomit bile. I am trying out medication to prevent this nausea and vomiting.

Did you see a doctor after you had those symptoms? What medicines are you on?
