Gallblader Disease, Help!
Posted: 07-07-04 08:25am

I was recently diagnossed with galblader disease, I need help on what this does to your body. You see my girlfriend says I could die from it, I know that the prosedure is a simple one to remove it, it is now out patient and all done with lasers through a tiny hole in your abdomen, but what after the prosedure? Do I take meds to help me digest foods? My doctor said that the gallblader causes alot of ailments, such as losing your hair, and gaining weight, are these true? Question

I'm Having Surgery Too.

I'm a little scared about the surgery, but I just want to feel better. If your gallbladder gets infected, it can be very serious. It can infect your pancreas. Are you having a lot of symptoms? Your doctor said that gallbladder can cause hair loss? Is this if there are gallbladder problems? I'm having hair loss and that would be great if it was related, then I would know.

hair loss??? Weight gain??? That sounds more like a metabolic problem, like a thyroid disorder. You are more likely to lose weight from the pain, nausea, and vomiting. Death from a gallbladder attack is very rare. Usually it's the very old or chronicly ill who are most likely to have fatal complications. Endoscopic cholecystectomy involves three holes in the abdomen. Complications are rare. Recovery time two to three weeks. Probably longer for heavy lifting.

Hair loss & weight problems sounds more like a thyroid problem to me too. I had my gallbladder removed 2 days ago & am now home from hospital. Yes I am uncomfortable, but nothing pain killers arent helping. Gallbladder disease can get nasty, if its not removed. There can be problems with your pancreas, if stones become lodged in your bile duct. However there can be problems with any surgery, so speak to your dr about your worries.
