Pain

[3momchaos]

Anyone else have their gallbladder out at time of surgery or after? I had mine removed when I had my surgery, and I’ve had a lot of pain over the past couple days in the gallbladder region. I have a message out to my surgeons office to see what they have to say. I haven’t had any naughty foods (greasy/sugary). I was a little constipated, so I took Miralax yesterday and that’s helping. I’m on my period, so I don’t know if that has anything to do with it (there’s no such thing as TMI here). Just wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar. I’m trying to stay away from heavy foods to keep things easy on my digestion. I’ve been noticing a lot more gurgling in my stomach and intestines too which I haven’t had since right after surgery.

I remember posting here about the gurgling noises a while back because it didn't start happening right away, probably a few months out. Sounded like that was pretty normal. But as far as the gall bladder, I still have mine. Let us know what your doctor says. Feel better!

The nurse wants me to take gas x and check in with her tomorrow. Said if it gets worse go to the ER, but if it stays consistent they’ll have me come in to be evaluated.

I was thinking this. Sounds like a combo of gas and if you are not pooping the cramping could be because of that.

Well I think I figured it out. I’m pretty sure I pulled a muscle around my ribs on the right side while I was trying to get my 50 lb dog dislodged from a tomato cage that she dove into chasing a rabbit behind our shed at 3 AM!! She’s pretty, but not smart. I didn’t even consider it because I didn’t feel anything at the time, but I can see how it could have happened. The back of the shed is blocked off again, and all the tomato cages are stacked where she can’t get to them (but that’s what I thought before LOL).

Oh my! Do you feel better now?

For the most part I do. If I breath really deep or laugh very hard for a long time it hurts, but I still find laughing a little painful which sucks because I have a hilarious household.

You know when you get your gallbladder out you should have been put on a weight lifting limit. For minimum of first six to twelve weeks. Had mine out in 96.

I was taken off restrictions at 6 weeks. I didn’t lift her up, but I did twist around a lot. It was very awkward LOL I was just glad no one saw my flashlight and called the cops! That would have been a fun story to explain hahaha
