Gallstones/gallbladder issues since having a baby

I had problems with my gallbladder after having my little boy which meant I needed to have it removed but I would suggest contacting your doctors again telling them that it only seems to be getting worse and hopefully that will help get things sorted sooner as it’s always worth a try!

I think I have this, I’m seeing my dr on the 18th, can I ask what the pain feels like for you ? Mine only happens every now and again mainly when I go to long between meals and eat certain foods , it’s definitely not hunger pain and I can feel it in my upper right rib x

How long did you wait to have it removed and what was recovery like?
I’ve booked an appointment with the doctor so hopefully they can help me at least with some sort of pain relief if they can’t speed up the op! Fingers crossed 🤞

It is on the right side at the lower part of my ribs, the pain I can’t even describe, it’s unbearable and I would rather give birth over and over again than have it. Apparently certain foods/drinks can trigger it but mine is completely random and flares up whenever it wants. Hopefully they get it sorted for you if it’s the same thing! 🤞

I only had to wait 3 days to have mine removed as I was put on the emergency list and the recovery wasn’t bad at all it wasn’t painful just felt tender around my bellybutton whenever I stood up or getting out of bed! Hopefully your doctors will help you as the pain really isn’t nice is it x

Oh brilliant! That sounds promising, I can’t wait to have mine out. How have you been since? The pain is awful 😫😫x

Yes, I had to have mine removed, worst pain ever! Was told the waiting list was 6-8 weeks, 4 months later I had surgery 😣 just keep pestering your doctor, I feel for you, it’s horrible x

oh my god you’re so lucky, although I’ve only been waiting nearly 3 months so I’ve still got time. But I just wish I had an appointment to have a countdown ready 😫x

Ask your doctor who your surgeon is, then call your hospital switch board and ask for the number of the surgeon’s secretary. They should be able to tell you your date. It helps to have a definite date to count down to! Xx

I’m still having a few problems but it’s a lot better since having it removed although I still have to be carful with what I eat x

Oh no really? Mine isn’t triggered by what I eat, was yours? X

yeah still getting the pains every now and then but they aren’t as bad as they was n yeah mine was triggered by what I ate and still is :( x

Oh no, is there nothing else they can do for you regarding it? X

I’ve been given tablets to see if that helps if not I’ve got to see a surgeon again x

hopefully they help you! I can’t wait to have mine out but I do hope it works x

thank you! Hopefully you’ll have yours removed soon and everything works out for you x

fingers crossed! I hope yours gets sorted out properly soon too! X
