Has anyone had their gallstones removed?

Question

What kind of pain did you have? I feel bloated and my stomach hurts. I also feel a pain on my right side. I hope its not my gallstones. :(

Answer 1

I had my gall bladder out because of gallstones when I was 26 years old (which is young according to surgeons). I did NOT feel bloated; I had pain closer up in my chest. I felt very nauseated and in pain, but high in my stomach (right below my breasts). I know that people have many, many different symptoms when having trouble with gallstones. No one is the same. I am sure some people do feel bloated.

It is easy for the doctor to check for the gallstone; they can use ultrasound. You won't feel any discomfort at all during the test. I hope this has not gone on too long. It can be dangerous to wait too long to remove your gallbladder if that is necessary.

In Scotland they do not do away with simplest the stones they do away with the entire gall bladder by way of keyhole surgical procedure, however in my view I have had five gallstones considering the fact that 1973 and do not plan to have some thing performed approximately it however I ought to watch what I devour as specified meals can have an impact on them. The health care professional can deliver you a record of meals to devour and hinder, do not devour fried meals, curry's so much dairy merchandise adding milk and chocolate, the nutrition you comply with is very similar to any individual that has middle and artery disorders, vegetarian diets could support.
