I had this done on Friday the 28th. Not at all as bad as I expected. After coming around my pain level was a 4 and I had some nausea. The wonderful nurses took care of that and I was home pain and nausea free. 2 days post-op, my pain is not bad at all. Some tenderness at the navel and that is it. Have not needed to use my prescription of percocet and have no intention of filling in the script. This pain is nowhere near the pain I had during my attacks.
I had this surgery performed four days ago and I feel as good as new. The surgery looks worse than it actually feels in the first few days of recovery. I’m just so thankful I’m born in the modern day of general anesthesia! I am so grateful to my surgeon for making it possible for me to eat food again… any food. I couldn’t eat for a week before my surgery! Now I feel as good as new!
my gall bladder attacked me on January 19, 2010 they said i was TOO young for this and i was only 18
im nervous getting mine out tomorrow :/
I had mine out on 9/9 and my nausea stopped! I’m doing much better.
Was only out of work for 2 weeks.
Had this operation last October 17. I was so nervous. But after seeing the video, everything went fine. I can walk a day after. Hopefully go to work after a few days. I hope there’s no complications.
@patchu
Me too, at Oct 11.
omg im going for that tomorrow…….
I did this surgery 5 days ago. It wasn’t as much bad as I expected. I feel great now, I didn’t use any pain reliefers except the first 12 hours. I had mor than 40 gallstons like small pyrimides. The doc has a big experience and this is the reason that everything gone fine!
@pika23 So weird!! I got the hiccups after too! However, I had a lot of pain afterwards, but I remember the worst was the gas pain in my abdomen. That’s what I remember the most…more than the pain afterwards, though I do remember that it was hard for me to move around afterwards. Dunno if it makes a difference, but I’m overweight…maybe that’s why it hurt me more?
I had the operation 40 days ago. Absolutely no pain whatsoever from the incisions a bit of shoulder pain the day after that lasted for 24h but was nothing to worry about.
No side effects, went to work 2 days after the operation. Ate light for like a month after the op and I am now back to eating everything I used to.
Overall, best decision I ever made was to get rid of a malfunctioning gall bladder that could lead to very severe problems.
Good luck to all remember to pick experienced doctor.
I had the surgery 2 days ago. Not so bad as I expected.Of course you are soar but I already switched from percocet to Ibufrofen and walking around. So far so good. Don’t get youself be caught in the horror stories , they create unecessary anxiety,everybody is different .
nosssa q açougueiro.
this video is not excelent
Had this surgery 3 days ago very little pain i haven’t had to take any pain killers and bowel movements have been very easy, man do i have gas though.
man, I am still sore…mostly by my belly button…it hurts to move.
I just had this done on Wednesday, 3days ago, and so far I am feeling ok, I AM sore most at the xyphoid process just underneath my left breast. I take the pain pills religiously every 6 hrs and stool softeners along with prunes. My throat hurt so bad after surgery that I chose to buy some Werthers candies that help alot. LOTS of ice water, ice pack on the belly, and rest. Don’t forget to eat soft or liquid diet for poops sakes. The first time was a killer man!
@Obbie900 OMG, I saw that too.
I had this done literally 6 hours ago! It is a little uncomfortable, but not mind numbingly excruciating like I thought it’d be. My frikkin throat hurts though from the anesthesia tube. And I have hiccups…which make my stomach hurt
wow this was interesting…
I thought most of the time the gallbladder is removed by bagging it, not just by deflating it.
but still good surgery
I’ve been wanting to see one for a while.
i had this done, and this was such a bad expierence, i was super sore and it was painful!
I had this done yesterday…am glad everything went fine.
I had this surgery done in March, it’s easy to see why I was so sore! Interesting to see how it works. @Sandii3307…I understand what it feels like! I’m still left with unpleasant after-effects of this surgery!
Its’ wonderfull, because I’ve information abot it now. So I can see a happy (or not bad…) future – ‘ve a cholestycitis…
Lovely…haha I just had this surgery.
