's message, "Re: problems after gallbladder removal" on 08:22:42 09/13/03 Sat
I am 37 and having my gallbladder removed on July 14th. I had my first gallbladder attack about 7 years ago, a few days after giving birth...not as bad as childbirth, but a close second. I have an attack/episode about every three months, almost like clockwork...gallbladder goes bananas for about a week, then settles down and is okay. The pain and discomfort have been pretty steady for about the past three weeks (not sleeping well either). I do not have stones, so my insurance company keeps putting the brakes on surgery. I have reduced ejection fraction, bilary sludge and tons of bilary pain. I'm hoping that I experience immediate pain relief (as with appendectomy). I'm having a lot of cramping and having to run to the toilet now anyway, so if the gallbladder pain goes away, I figure I'll still be ahead. Interesting to read different experiences. Hope mine is one of the better ones.

How did your operation go? I am 30 and have just found out that my gallbladder has to go. I have been having problems with gas, vomiting, etc. ,since I had my daughter in 1993. I always came up with 101 reasons why I had these problems. It wasn't until this pass December when I realize something was wrong. I started having the really bad pains in my upper right side. I did not get time to go to the doctor until the first of June. Plus, at the time the pain started it only last a couple of days and would be a few weeks before it happen again. But for the past 6 weeks I can't get much sleep. I be okay one day and the next I am a wreck. I have stop eating any thing I thought would cause the attacks but that hasn't helped. I had an ultrasound, scan, and scope. They wanted to rule out anything that could cause these problems. I have a polpy in the neck of the gall bladder. Plus, when they did the test that made the gallbladder contract I almost threw up all over the nurse. How are you doing? How did you get relief from this whole mess. I go to see the surgery tomorrow. To get everything set up for my operation. Please let me know if any one can help me. I did not get any sleep last night because of the pain. Thank You!
