Severe Pain Years Post Gallbladder Removal

Sorry if this is long:
I am in the same boat as many on here. April 19, 2012 I had my gallbladder removed the same time they performed a tubal ligation. A few months later, I had my very first episode of pains and nausea. I was doing nothing but laying on the couch watching a movie with my husband. He had to carry me to the truck to drive me to the hospital, but we never made it as he had to pull over so I could throw up and the ambulance had to pick me up from there. I have had so many tests done and they could never find out what was wrong. I was put on bentyl and amitriptyline but none of it helped. I have tried to cut foods and drinks out but I would still go through it. It has happened in the middle of class/exams, at work, when I am sleeping, or just whenever it felt like hitting me. I wish there was an answer for us!

Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, @adoby2010. The pain and nausea you've had to contend with sound difficult. Sorry to hear the medications and diet changes you've tried have not helped.

Hoping members who've chatted in this discussion on severe pain years after gallbladder removal will provide some support and thoughts for you, such as @sbtheplumber1 @taylor2 @lasirvent @diannesmcneill and others.
