Post-cholecystectomy or gallbladder removal surgery

I'm so sorry you are struggling. My husband had his removed 6 weeks ago and the pain he had prior to his gallbladder removal has never gone away. We have been back and forth to the ER 3 times all the tests and scans come back negative. Our daughter works for HR thru a medical clinic she works for so she got my husband an appointment tomorrow for pain management. We will see how that goes and hopefully they can help him with his pain cause he can hardly get out of bed without hurting so bad. I pray you can get some answers on your situation as well. It's so crazy how many people are struggling after gallbladder removal. Makes me wonder what really goes on in surgery as to why so many are in worse shape after.

I had my gallbladder out in 2012 and I've never been able to eat normally since then. I don't think it's the surgery per se, I think it's the fact that we desperately need our gallbladder to release the bile after we eat. If doctors would do a better job of periodically checking people's gallbladders, and in my case listening to me when I told them for six years that I thought something was wrong with it and their test said it was OK when it clearly wasn't, they wouldn't have to remove so many! It's there for a reason. I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's problem. I had to completely change my diet and I'm on a very limited one, but at least I can eat most of the time. I wish you good luck! Sorry you both have to go through that. 💕
