Has Anyone Had Gallbladder Out And Still Have Same Symtoms

Sorry your surgery did not solve your problems. I had my gb out 3 months ago & feel great. My surgeon did explain that some have the pain return. If it does, it's could be sphincter of oddi dysfunction or sod for short. This dysfunction causes biliary pain, which mimics gallstone/gallbladder disease. There are several web sites out there that will explain this dysfunction. It can be corrected by doing a surgical procedure via upper endoscope. Really surprised your surgeon never mentioned this as a possibility.

I had my gallbladder out a few months ago, and I still have pain sometimes, its not really bad, but each time it comes back it gets worser, my doctor said some people get this problem, and if you have it, he told me its ether bile leaking from where the gallbladder was unattached, the bile duct could have been nicked and causing your leakage.

Or the other cause is a stone still trapped in the bile ducts............................


Both of these require surgery to fix.........
Talk to your doctor/surgen, if he don't help
find another surgen, these problems are serious, and require medical attention.

I just had gall bladder surgery a little over a week ago, and i'm feeling pretty well with one exception. My stomach is soooo swollen. I look like i'm about 7 months pregnant. I thought this would be a "simple" surgery, and I don't understand why my stomach is so huge.

Anyone have this problem? I'd love to hear that i'm not alone!

:cry:

:cry: I am sorry that you are still feeling pain after gallbladder surgery. I had surgery back in april and I feel fantastic no pain whatsoever. If you pain continues I suggest that you got your surgeon to see what is going on.

Hello gall bladder/swollen tummy,
what your having is common after laparoscopic gallbladder surgery. They fill your stomach with air, so they can visualize your internal organs. Even though they try to get most of it out after surgery...They can't get it all. It takes awhile to work out.

Hello,
im 18 years old and I had my gallbladder out 3/4 months ago. Since then ive healed up nicely and have had no problem apart from being bloated quite a lot I can eat what I want. Until last night I had a pizza and I had a mild intergestion which was fine nothing serious and then this morning I woke up and my whole stomach was aching I thought it may have been due to the pizza last night and I slept on my front for some reason. Anyway carried on as normla went to work had slight ache, where I used to get the pain by where my gall bladder was. Then I started getting the pains again but aftr 12-15 dissappeared but slightly still there. Then I decided to ahve some lunch and as soon as I did it come back with vengence I was in pain and wanted to be sick. So it made me sicks about 3 times and then the pain slowly returned and my muscle in my stomach or where they are all relaxed and was ok.
Does anyone know what this is all about???

I know exactly what you are going through. I had my gallbladder out 3 years ago and have the symptoms just as much now as before surgery. I have had 4 ercps since my gallbladder removal this is to remove stones that are forming in the common bile duct. Don't ask why, that is what I am trying to figure out and the doctors just keep sending me to have them removed but give me no answers on why. Maybe you could get checked for stones in the common bile duct. The symptoms and pain is exactly what it was before surgery.
