Nausea after gallbladder removal Posted: 03-28-07 09:33am
I have had my gallbladder removed lapro 4
months ago, the nausea has gotten somewhat
(slightly) better. I am occasionally
bloated with pain. But the nausea is
constant. My primay care physican said
anywhere from 4-6 months if not a year for
the nausea to go away. Another Dr. Said
that my bloodwork is perfect. I have no
back pain. SOME loose stools, digestion
ok, my appetite is good. HOWEVER, this
nausea is driving me a bit crazy. I wake
up at night at times from it. IS this
normal, DOES it really take up to a year
for the body to adjust. I Have had a
second oponion and the internest agrees
with my PCP. What do you think?
It seems that you had been suffering from
nausea for a very long time before your
gallbladder was removed. It seems likely
that you can stand the discomfort for
another several months after gallbladder
removal. If gallbladder removal doesn’t
help ease the discomfort of these
symptoms, then it probably means that the
gallbladder wasn’t the reason for your
nausea.
