A member asked:

Gallbadder surgery a week ago. tonight i couldnt stop hunger and excessive thirst. should i be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No worries : Niether of those things alone sound dangerous. As long as the wounds look ok, no excess pain, no fever, and you are staying well hydrated, should be fine. Be sure to keep your postop appointment. You can always call your surgeon if youre worried. Hope this helps!
