After Gall Bladder Removal Surgery---  |
|
 I hope someone can help me. I had surgery to remove my gall bladder on Tuesday. It is now Saturday. These past few days I have been sore and the incisions have hurt, as to be expected, but today I have a very different kind of pain. It almost feels as if I'm having a gall bladder attack, which obviously I shouldn't as it's been removed. This pain has got me a bit worried, it hurts all over, for a moment I thought it was in my chest and perhaps I was having a heart attack.
I know the doctors said I could have some phantom pains for a bit... but this is 4 days later and this is the first I'm feeling this. Is it normal? Could I just be over doing it?
Does anyone have any experience with this? If it is normal, how long can I expect to feel like this until I no longer have pains due to the gall bladder anymore?

2.  gemini_rose (7982) | 4 months ago |  I have no idea about the gall bladder and so cannot help you on this point, but I would say that if you are no better by the beginning of the week you should consider seeing someone about it. I know from previous discussions that you have been feeling unwell for a day or two. If you can get a bit more rest then do it, after all when all is said and done you have just had surgery and you need rest, I know it is hard when you have kids and family to look after but please try xxxx

| katsmeow1213 (1697) | 4 months ago | It seems to come and go. Sometimes I feel fine and sometimes I feel sick, and each time I feel sick it's different. Yesterday I felt woozy, today it's just pain in my abdomen. Perhaps I did overdo it a bit today as my husband has been at work all day. He will be home in about 2 hours, and I really have nothing left to do until then. I've been relaxing as best I can, but you know I had a sink full of dishes and mountain of laundry to work on, lol. | |

| gemini_rose (7982) | 4 months ago | I totally understand, and although I dont know you really well, I do worry as I know what it is like to be as you are now. Last year I had a hysterectomy and when I came out of hospital I was told that I had to do nothing for at least 12 weeks. My hubby could only have 3 off work and so for the rest my eldest was with me. Now he was great dont get me wrong but of course I wanted to do things myself and it made me ill. | |

| katsmeow1213 (1697) | 4 months ago | My oldest is only 11 and he is no help at all! We went shopping on Thursday and the babies were getting cranky, so I sent my husband to the car and kept the oldest with me to load the groceries. Well I ended up sending him off as well because he just would not lift a finger. My husband had to come back in and finish it up for me.
I am trying to take it easy. Actually I think I will go back to lounging on the sofa until hubby gets home, which should only be a bit over an hour now. | |

| katsmeow1213 (1697) | 4 months ago | It could be gas in the abdomen still, they told me they did put gas in there, and that it would take a few days for it to disappear. It could also just be the natural healing process. I am feeling better today, so maybe I was just overdoing it yesterday because my husband wasn't around. So far today only the incisions hurt, and I am putting antibiotic ointment on them to help them heal and keep away infections. | |
