My mother and brother both had the surgery, doctors dont seem to know what is goning on. They have done test and everything. I hear alot about the dumping thing, but they dont have that prtoblem, just bloating, and cant loose weight, no matter what they try. Now i know they are not alone. Is there an answer out there?

One November 17, 2006 I had my gallbladder removed after 2 years of sickness and pain. I immediately felt before but a week later was having bowel problems. Not the normal diahrea I was expecting after having the gallbladder removed but severe constipation. When I contacted the doctor to find out if they disconnected my bowels during the surgery, I was told that this was common because my body had been through a major surgery and that the medications I was given could cause constipation. Stool softeners and laxatives don't seem to help so I resorted to glycerin suppositories. That finally did give me some relief. Three weeks after the surgery and I am in pain from the constipation. Nothing seems to work including the suppositories. I can take laxatives by mouth but what usually happens is that the laxative works the upper areas of the the colon but I am still blocked in the lower portion of the colon so I tend to experience severe pain, cramping, nausea, etc. from the laxative. The blockage gets so bad that I am sick for days. At this point, I would welcome diahrea after every meal!

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Any suggestions?

I understand exactly what your talking about. I had my gallbladder removed 3 months ago. Up until about a month ago, everything was great. Now, in the last month, I have been experiencing pain, bloating, cramps, and lots of constipation. I even went to the ER about 10 days ago because I was so miserable. All they did was take Xrays, catscan, and then give me an enema. I feel sick all the time, and when I do have a bowel movement, which is seldom, I am in pain and cramps and it has not been normal for the last month. I have spoken to my doctor several times and been told fiber, fiber, fiber. But that does not work. If anyone else has a solution, please also let me know. If I have to live the rest of my life like this, it is going to be awful! HELP!!!
