Q: i had my gb surgery 3 months ago an i stay bloated an i look 9 months pregnant an it doesn't matter if i take 1 bite or 10 an i gain 25 lbs in 2 month?

Diet record: you had a gall bladder removed 3 months ago. Most likely you had pain. Now you have bloating with food. It might be helpful to now look at each meal and record what causes bloating. If everything causes bloating then analyze what you are eating. Start with breakfast. Avoid fatty foods. Over time you will find healthy foods that work well for you.

Q: can u keep gallstones after gb surgery? a friend said she got to see hers & keep them; another friend said they didn't let her see hers or keep hers.

Body parts: Prior to 1985 and the arrival of hiv, there were surgical facilities that allowed viewing and sharing of surgical specimens with the patient. Currently most surgical facilities have much safer policies to protect the entire health care delivery team of potential contaminants by following universal precaution protocols.

Q: if i am now a girl, will they shave my belly for gb surgery?

Little: Only around the surgical sites which includes the umbilical area and above, and only if needed.

Q: i had a ct done after gb surgery and it said i have a surgical clip and fluid as well as gas in gb fossa. is it something to be concerned about?

It depends: The clip is likely part of your surgery - you do want the cystic duct sealed for good. Fluid and gas may be problematic - not normal if the surgery was done a while ago or you have other signs of infection such as fever.

Q: i had gb surgery 2 weeks ago. last night i slept on my back with my feet facing upward. when i awoke, it was painful to move my feet off the bed! is there an explanation for this?

Doctor can check: Anyone who has had recent surgery or recent bodily trauma is at higher risk for getting blood clots in the legs. So, if there are any mysterious feet or leg pains or swelling, the patient should get seen right away to make sure there is not a blood clot in the leg veins. If there is not clot on evaluation, the doctor can look for what else might be causing the symptoms. Blood clots are dangerous.

Question 1

i had gb surgery 2 weeks ago and now my incision scars are bumpy and one of them hurts. its not red or inflamed. what could be the cause?

Accepted Answer

Pretty normal: Your trochar sites are sites of trauma. Your eighteen so you have a dynamite immune system. You are feeling soreness due to inflammation as these wounds continue to heal. The bump is due to scarring and , probably, just a little bit of blood at the wound sites. Take aspirin/naproxen/ibuprofen for soreness, and you can use a heating pad as well. This will pass. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

Not common: Hernias after laparoscopic surgery (assuming you didn't have it done "open") are not very common but can still happen. A hernia is a bulge at the incision. Your surgeon can examen you and determine if you have an incisional hernia. Surgeons have different recommendations for lifting restrictions after surgery so follow your surgeon's recommendations. I tell patients <25 pounds for 4 weeks.
