Has anyone here ever had gallstones?

Has anyone suffered from gallstones and other problems with their gallbladder?

  • For last 6 months I've had reoccuring problems with gallstones and cholecystitis. Can anyone give me advice on how to cope until I get my gallbladder removed in April? I would appreciate any advice and information! Thanks.

  • Answer:

    i'm a surgical intern and i must admit that i didn't know what these pains felt like until i got them myself. my surgery was scheduled a month away. eventually i got fed up and went to the emergency room. this should be a last resort. your surgeon or another surgeon should be on call in the ER and will get to you as soon as they can. in the mean time, you should stay away from greasy or spicy foods. anything loaded in butter and sodium is not good either. best of luck~

Happened to me 2 weeks ago when they diagnosed gallstones. You have to stay on a low fat diet until the gall bladder is removed as they don't want the gb to have to excrete extra bile into the gut in case that is needed if you eate too much fatty food. If it has to work it may make you pass another gall stone ... ouch! Now all I have to do is wait for the hospital to send a letter to my GP so he can refer me to a local hospital. (The one I was admitted to initially was 200 miles away!)

Eat bland and low fat food, little and often is best sip water if you have reflux. hot water bottle helps the pain it's a good job April is not too far away i have been there so i know how painful this problem can be.

u need to stick to a low fat diet, and avoid other foods that might irritate your gallbladder. other things that might bother u are alcohol, spicy foods and caffeine... good luck... hope it all goes well for u. i had some minor problems with gallstone pain when i was heavily pregnant, so i know just how painful those little blighters can be.......
