My Hubby Has Problems After Laproscopic Gallbladder Removal Posted: 10-12-05 19:06pm
I know this forum is not a substitute for
a doctor, but I just would like to mention
this problem in case someone out there has
had something similar. My husband had
gall bladder surgery 8 days ago. The
surgeon said the surgery went real well
and he went home the next day. All was
fine till yesteray when he started
complaining of right sided pain near where
he had the gallbladder when he took a deep
breath in. Then last night he developed
a low grade temp, 99.7. It goes down to
98.8 if he just sits and does nothing, if
he moves around it goes up again. We
called the surgeon. He said the pain he
feels is quite normal ( :!: ) during
recover. No explaination for the low
grade temp. He's supposed to see him
tomorrow. He is not jaudiced or
nauseous. Because i'm a compulsive
worrier i'm imagining the worst. Has
anyone had similar symptoms? The doc
never mentioned there were any risks
involved in this surgery. :(

Sounds to me as though he has an infection
maybe & a course of antibiotics will
probably do the trick, but I am not a Dr.
The best thing, is to wait & see what
the dr says. I had a lap cholecystectomy
a week ago & am still suffering under
my ribs. As my surgeon said to me, its
the same procedure, even though its done
in a different way. But the fever
certainly sounds like hes fighting off a
bit of an infection somewhere. Try not
to panic though!
