Gallbladder removal: What can I expect?
Digestive Health | Last Active: 6 hours ago | Replies (54)Comment receiving replies
About twice a year I had severe upper abdominal pain. Dr. said it was gallstones. They did the echo and saw some sludge and maybe a small stone or two. Said I needed it removed. Well, the severe upper abdominal pain is gone BUT I have severe watery diarrhea almost everyday. Scared to leave the house sometimes. I take Colestid, it helps but doesn't completely resolve it.
If I had it to do all over again I would NOT have my gallbladder removed. At least get a second opinion.

I agree with you. I had mine removed July 31 and I have constant stinging burning sensation in lower abdomen or then it moves to my "privates". I ruled out a UTI, and I was taking meds for yeast infection that the ER detected. It's a constant irritation and has limited my life .
Do you take any supplements? bile salts, etc. I see on here that some people take them, but
I have no digestive issues. Watching my fats intake.
