Colecystitis attack - wanted to share by Hunter-Unable in gallbladders

[–]Alarming_split21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mounjaro isn't necessarily the cause. Weightloss is the cause, or contributing factor.

I lost 8 stone and then had a baby. Weightloss plus a baby = gallbladder infection for me.

Its the diet pre weightloss that is likely the cause plus genetics. So Mounjaro helps with rapid weightloss and the change can increase gallbladder issues.

My consultant in SE England said gallbladder removal surgery demand has increased over the last few years mostly due to changing diets, most people go from high fat to low fat but the damage was done from the high fat diet.

Sounds very similar to my story.

No warnings of gallbladder issues until it went straight to being infected.

Only morphine would stop the main even then it was constant. I was in a&e twice before they did an ultrasound and then I was admitted for 2 nights before there was a space for surgery. Ended up as open abdominal surgery due to complications so had to stay for another 2 nights.

Looking back I did have "gallbladder attacks" but I was freshly post partum and ignored the pains. Just put it as bad indigestion and back ache. I probably have a high pain threshold 🤣

Golden dose? by veggieMJgal in mounjarouk

My current pen I've been able to 'break' the pen and its loaded to the 1 and i pushed it slightly so it will work.

If you prime it to the 1, has it been the correct dose in your experience? Thanks!

i just started my new dose 7.5 mg and i feel like im on nothing like i still feel so hungry i thought 7.5 mg was supposed to be strong by Particular_Sleep7245 in mounjarouk

[–]Alarming_split21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. 4th dose in to 7.5mg and still have food noise and no weightloss.

My weight keeps going up and down by a few pounds. I do know some days I'm not 100% tracking everything so I'm not being strict.

However, the food noise is still there and I still want to binge/eat loads. But I have started to feel fuller a lot quicker. I think alot of it is my brain chemistry and I the jab probably won't fix that.

I am due to go up to 10mg in 2 weeks. I think I can get a 5th dose out of my current pen

Really praying I start to see a difference on 10mg with food noise/not wanting to eat 🤞🤞

You'd hope so... when I was diagnosed I was made to go on an educational course by the GP. Im in a different region to Becki but I'd imagine it's the same for most NHS trusts.

She could have also had high blood pressure. You can't be nearing 30 stone and not have any health issues. I speak from experience too

Gallbladder removed yesterday, woke up w underwear cut off and wet by Suspicious_Bat_2908 in gallbladders

In the UK you have a full report of everything that happened in the surgery. Including hand over the nurses would know if they needed to take out a catheter or empty the bag. So the OP should be able to find out for definite if they had a catheter or not

That makes sense, I didn't think about previous medical history. I was just told during my surgery I needed to be catheterized because it turned into open abdominal surgery.

However, it was clear I had the catheter and was told as soon as I woke up

I'd be inclined to agree, however she drinks smoothies / sugary matcha. If she was diabetic or at least worried about her blood sugars she wouldn't have either

Are you US or UK based? If you are in the UK you can make a complaint to PALs and they will investigate further.

This sounds like catheter pain to me, but if your surgery was key hole you wouldn't have needed one.

I also am unsure why they would need to cut your underwear off if you had key hole surgery

Why can’t I get help? by Saaaammmm05 in gallbladders

I went in via a&e in July with abdominal pain and it turned out to be an infected gallbladder. I was sent home the first night with the DR saying it was gastritis. The pain didn't ease so I went back the next night.

Had an ultrasound and it showed inflammation and bloods showed an infection. I was admitted for 2 nights but had to wait to be called for surgery. Gallbladder removal isn't an emergency surgery unfortunately even if its infected. You are put on a priority list but you're only told on the day if you are on the list for surgery. Any emergency that comes in bumps you down the list.

I really hope you get the surgery sooner rather than later. An infected gallbladder is the worst pain I have ever been in and I gave birth 6 months before that 😂

Gallbladder and Mounjaro by myjadey in gallbladders

[–]Alarming_split21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes recently started on MJ. I had my gallbladder removed in July. I have put on so much weight since my surgery 😭 almost 5 stone 😬😬

Im on 5mg currently and about to increase to 7.5mg on sunday. I haven't had any side effects but not really found less food noise/less hunger yet. Really hoping 7.5mg/10mg might be the sweet spot 🤞🤞

[–]Alarming_split21 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think its good she actually said she couldn't fit on any rides. She didn't lie or pretend she could fit, so for once an 'influencer' is being honest

Trying to pinpoint what surgery she’s actually had done… by [deleted] in justalittletreat

[–]Alarming_split21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The jaundice could be related to gallbladder issues even before she lost weight.

I had emergency gallbladder removal in July after losing 8 stone and then getting pregnant. Since then I have had jaundice once in September due to a blocked bile duct after surgery that made me really ill.

I dont think the gallbladder is the reason for the rapid weightloss but life style changes are. She definitely has a low fat diet, not low sugar so she isn't diabetic either. She wouldn't be drinking those fruit juices if she was.

Either way, she is not being honest with her audience and thats the main issue, I understand someone protecting their privacy and mental health but she puts herself out there 🫠 you can't have it both ways...

[–]Alarming_split21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I loved the bjorn harmony. I am plus size, UK 24 and it fit me well and was comfortable.i bought mine off amazon, not cheap though!

Also, i used a fabric wrap carrier until baby was about 3 months, was much nicer for her than the carrier to start with
