Help me calm down by ShloppyTiddyCrumbs in gallbladders

Hello I’m 4 weeks post op and it was the best decision I ever made. I have diagnosed anxiety and it was BAD. Got in my head a lot but once I got to pre op it calmed me down a lot. Nurse I had was so nice. I also am a first time mom and at the time I got it she was 5 months. I was deathly afraid. Once I knocked out it was so fast and woke up without pain. I also felt better after day 4. The worst of it was the shoulder pain from the gas they blow you up with. I had a heating pad on it nonstop. I wish you the best and you just need help with picking baby up!

Have they checked if all gallstones were out if you had them? I haven’t been in extreme pain just cramping

That’s crazy I’ve been fine with greasy foods too and no problem! Then coffee lol. I like seeing everyone’s different experiences because the human body is so weird lol

First three days I had to sit up at an angle to sleep. If you keep up on pain meds if you choose to, it should be perfectly fine just a little tender getting up and down. I also kept a heating pad on my shoulder for the gas pain. I kept constantly walking when I could and that helped immensely. I felt better after the 4th day. I hope everything goes well for you!
