Question 2

Call Your Surgeon: There are many possible explanations for your back pain, from simple musculoskeletal pain to the possibility of a stone in your common bile duct or a postoperative  bile leak.  Please return to see your surgeon so that (s)he can take a more complete history, examine you, and order the appropriate tests to get you well.

Question 3

i had gall bladder removal 7/29.. i haver at least 10 or more bm a day and now have pain on left sidfe of body.. not near navel ..on side of body and lower back?

Accepted Answer

: The current diarrhea is unlikely related to the gallbladder surgery 3 weeks ago unless you are on a prolonged antibiotic course. You probably have an acute gastroenteritis, recall what you ate out in the previous 24 hours. You should hydrate well and eat light diet in the next 24 hours, try Imodium (OTC) every 4-6 hours as needed to slow down the watery stool. Symptoms should improve in 24 hours.

Question 4

i am two weeks post-op from a gall bladder removal surgery. the surgical pain is gone and now i have gotten terrible back pain. what's wrong?

See your surgeon: back pain after gallbladder surgery make us worry about the pancreas,could be a simple problem from sleeping more and laying on the bad mattress more than usual,but i will check with my surgeon,let them know about how you feel,if you are my patient ,i want to know.

Question 5

my girlfriend has woken up vomiting for the last 7 hours. aches and pains now. gall bladder removal 2months ago. travelling in nepal at present.

Accepted Answer

Food poisoning?: The first thing that comes to mind is food or water poisoning.  Many bacteria/parasites can cause vomiting, cramping etc followed by diarrhea.  The goal is to stay hydrated (small sips at frequent intervals) and obtain IV fluids if unable to keep down the sips.  Most of those illnesses are self limited but if she is not better in a day or so she should get to a clinic.  Appendicitis, etc possible.

Question 6

i am scheduled to speak to a surgeon about gall bladder removal in a couple weeks. but i have been having pain up into my ribs for a couple days now. ?

Accepted Answer

Probably gallbladder: This is a common symptom of gallbladder disease. Avoid fatty foods and ask the doctor to mover the surgery up if you are having severe problems.

Question 7

i had emergency laparoscopic gall bladder removal 6 days ago. my alt was 181, ast 127, ap 163, glucose 168, and lipase 9. 1mo. before, all were normal. they did not retest my blood. now i have uti & given cedifinir. afraid it will affect liver.

Accepted Answer

LFT's: I would not worry about that particular antibiotic in this setting, but I do think it is important at some point, when ever your surgeon deems most appropriate, to recheck the liver tests to be sure that they normalize. If they do, and if  your bile duct was normal in size, you should be fine. Good luck.

Question 8

how risky is a gall bladder removal?

Accepted Answer

If performed by: Experienced surgeon, risk is minimal.  Assuming that you are going to have laparoscopic surgery, major complication is about 2% overall.  That means 98% have no problems or minor problems if at all.  Those are pretty good odds and not  ask your surgeon whether he thinks out potential benefits outweigh the potential risks, he can tell you for sure.
