I got my gb out on the 17th of july and feel worse than ever. I have a nagging nauseaus feeling and when I am able to eat, I can’t keep it down since I have diahrrea after everything. I am a little over a week post op and not quite sure what to think here.. I know diahrrea is sometimes normal but I feel tired all the time, almost like I have the flu.. my leg and arms ache too, I have a low grade fever of 99 at night and my tongue is turning white from dehydration.. I was reading your posts and realized that I am going thru some of the same things.. as of right now, I definitely regret taking my gb out.. i hope this gets better…

Howdy Folks, I had my GallBladder removed Dec 1st. If I eat out in fast food joints, within 30 minutes I have got to go to the crapper. Certain fatty foods I eat, I can actually feel, and hear the liquid, going through my system. I mentioned this to my surgeon. He laughed. See ya!

“I am so relieved to have found this discussion, I had my gall bladder out a year via keyhole surgery and get this pain every 4-6 weeks, sometimes more often.
I was up all last night with the pain and every doctor says it is nothing!! I feel like crying when I realise i will probably just have to live with this for my entire life?!At least I know there are other sufferers and its not just me! :)”
“Hi
Just to let people know that it appears to be a common issue after the removal of the gall bladder. I had mine removed ten years ago and have had problems ever since, I was referred to a specialist and had a liver biopsy this only resulted in fatty tissue being diagnoised. I have my own theary about the pain I wonder if it can be stones still being produced and getting stuck in the liver duct causing the pain and it easing once they have passed through. I am not physically sick but can feel sick and have medication for acid I get a burning sensation in my stomach and also a feeling of emptiness in a morning. I have learnt to live with the discomfort I feel after such a long time and find if I eat bread and other foods with carbohydrate in them I get a bloated feeling. I have stopped drinking diet coke and I feel alot better I now drink carbon water if I want a fizzy drink but not too much. I have recently moved to France and the bread here doesnt cause discomfort like the bread at home and I think that preservatives in food may cause the problem to be worse as their is no preservative in fresh french bread. I have learnt to live with my problem and cut out foods that cause problems. I havent lost weight like most people but that is because I love my food and still eat well. Other things that cause problems is eating tomatoes, chocolate, alcohol, cakes, and spicy foods. If I cut these out I am alot better, I did have a period when I had dioreeah but also I have had constipation I did think I had irratable bowel however I do believe all my symptons are due to my gall bladder removal. It is reassuring to know other people have the same problems and that I am not on my own. ”A year & 1/2 ago I had my gallbladder removed in an emergency operation; I was also told at the time that my liver enzymes were abnormally high. I also had anemia for ten years; finally had a hysterectomy but the anemia continued. Now I have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I am connecting the dots now.
If you no longer have your Gallbladder there are certain protols you have to follow to help Ill Health. You have to use Cholacol which are bile salt to break down the foods and liquids you still desire to consume. And most importantly you have to treat the scars, ortherwise you will have a life time of unknown illness that Doctors will try to treat with drugs and more surgury and eventually say there is nothing else we can do for you Medically, Chiropractically, Acupuncturally, etc.. After seeing thousands of patients, that has to be the most come thing I have Heard when listening to you in my consultation. If it not out let’s keep it. If it out let’s not lose any more organs, decrease the meds and learn how to have a fun and happy Life. 😀 DrVince ***
“I had my gall bladder out two years and regret it every day. Knowing what I now know I would find a local herbalist. There are cures for this and the medical community will not tell you this.

grk@grkreations.com”“i’ve been a long time reader on the boards, and posted a few times too. if anyone has read my posts, you know my story. for those of you that don’t, here’s everything in a nutshell:
went on a “”diet”” in may 2007, starting at 5’3″” 123ish. by august 07, i was 113 lbs. i did it the unhealthy way, and didn’t even really realize. i wasn’t very aware of nutrition and whatnot, and i exercised a lot. i got mono in august 07, and dropped down to 100 lbs by november 2007. got diagnosed with gallbladder disease in december 07. had gallbladder removed in may 07, @ 108 lbs. all of this weightloss was due to what i believe was some sort of ED. i struggled for about a year with ED thoughts, and was very, very sickly looking. i still struggle with ED thoughts today.
now, i am 120 lbs. i don’t know HOW this happened. i went on a cruise in september, and that helped me to regulate my eating and start eating normally again. i am happier; i look healthier — but i don’t fit into ANY of my pants. not even my pants from before all of this. i have always been a 00/0. i eat decent – it’s not like i’m sitting here eating burgers and fries 24/7 – i NEVER eat those foods. i’m used to a relatively low-fat diet because of the gallbladder disease. i feel like all of this weight went directly to my stomach/thighs. i think my body is ‘comfortable’ at 120, which is why i shot up so quickly. i mean, just 2 months ago i was 110. i gained 10 lbs in 2 months? crazy. needless to say, i feel pretty crappy about myself. i don’t fit nicely into any of my pants. i bought tons of 00 jeans/shorts, and none of them fit me anymore. i know it’s not realistic to fit into a 00 my entire life, but i have ALWAYS been a 0, and i’m struggling to fit into those now.
i don’t know what i’m doing wrong. i eat pretty healthy. i exercise regularly. i don’t know what to do anymore. i cried about this last night .. i just really don’t know what to do anymore.i have a more updated picture of myself in my gallery (i’m on the left with the shorter hair). i definitely look so much better; but i just don’t feel good about myself and the fact that my blub hangs over my pants now. i have been wearing sweatpants more and more :(i actually have terrible IBS which began after my surgery, so i go to the gastro doctor pretty regularly. i have to get a colonoscopy on march 2 along with some blood tests, which are going to be testing for celiac’s and my thyroid functions as well. i’ll see how those go, and raise the issue to him as well as my gp. thanks so much for all your help.”
I have the same problem. I had my gallbladder removed on March 26, 2009. I have gone threw many test. They found out that I have acid reflux and a hiatel hernia. Maybe you should get that check just in case. I know my dr told me nothing greesy or spicy for the first few weeks after my surgery that was all i had as far as food restrictions. I still throw up and have pains and its very annoying. I hope that helped.
“So I had my gallbladder removed about 3 years ago and 6-8 months my sister-in-law had hers removed as well. We both had the same symptoms that are basically just a whole lot of digestion issues. For the first time ever we have both had hemorrhoids, nausea, more diarrhea than we care to remember, cramps, and intense hunger pains when we go too long without eating.
It does such that we will probably be dealing with digestion issues for the rest of our lives but life after isn’t too terrible. Reality is most people with gallbladder problems didn’t eat good food prior and don’t eat good food after. I have noticed that when overall my diet is better the symptoms so lessen a great deal but do not go away. Oh yeah, i think the strangest thing is how often i poop. I poop like 4-6 times a day now, instead of one large movement a day it is just every time i go #1 i go #2 as well.
So the take home message is avoid surgury if you can, but if you must then eat better and remember that IMMODIUM is your friend!!!! :-)”
“Hi. It’s called post-cholecystectomy syndrome, and I have had it for 14 years now. This is what is happening: You gall bladder used to store bile and squirt it into your intestines when you eat a fatty meal to aid in digestion. Now, without a gallbladder, the bile trickles out at a constant rate. This can cause irriation to the intestines, especially if there is no food there (like overnight). Then as soon as food or fluid hits the now irritated system, it causes pain bloating and diarrhea.
It usually has nothing to do with WHAT you eat. For me, some days a sip of water will set it off. But hormonal cycles and stress can make it worse. I’m worst when stressed and right before my period… and heaven forbid if I’ve got both at the same time!
Now what to do about it? Keep stress to a minimum. A couple months ago, I heard of a recent study showing a drug that is effective for this, but I cannot remember what the drug was or where I even heard it. I don’t have time to research it now”
My gallbladder was removed in 2005 after my daughter was born and i have had problems off and on ever since. I have had this constant pain on my right side now for months and I am going back to the gastro doctor to see if something is going on with scar tissue or something worse. I cant do anything, including exercise which is something that i really enjoyed doing. They are saying that its possible that my scar tissue has caused the problem or possibly an inflammation of the pancreas
I had my gallbladder removed june 25,2007 two months after i had my son. I have gained 70lbs over this short amount of time.. I eat leaner and i run track play softball and soccer. people are telling me that i eat to much fat. i am a 16 year old mother and people in society are cruel. can any one tell me why i am gaining so much weight?
