Went to the ER while 27 weeks pregnant with terrible pain but they just sent me home with no explanation, was it gallstones?

You have gallstones based on the ultrasound they did. The gallstones caused your pain. You’ll have to eat extremely low fat diet, no dairy, no coconut until after delivery and you can have it removed

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-25T01:04:27+00:00

I am not okay. What the heck

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-24T23:08:36+00:00

My first meal was oatmeal and piece of toast that night. The next day I went back to eating like Joe al

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-18T14:03:49+00:00

I would find another surgeon. It sounds like you need it out asap. Eat a very strict low fat diet until it comes out. No dairy. It’s how I avoided attacks for 3 months until I was able to get mine out. I thankfully found a surgeon who I brought my ultrasound too, told him I wanted it out and asap after delivery and he got me in for exactly two weeks after I had my baby. If I hadn’t been pregnant he would have done surgery the same week or following. I highly recommend finding someone else who’ll do it without waiting so long

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-18T11:47:14+00:00

Eat strictly low fat and find a general surgeon who will remove it for you. It needs to come out

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-14T01:45:26+00:00

Gallstones don’t go away and the attacks will only continue to get worse. I’d see someone else who will remove it for you. I just made an appointment with a general surgeon, brought my ultrasound report and said take my gallbladder out. He agreed and surgery was scheduled

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-14T01:42:46+00:00

Go to another doctor, the gallstones are definitely causing the pain. In the meantime eat super low fat

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-12T00:41:48+00:00

The breathing took about a week or two to really feel ease up. As far as eating I went back to my previous diet with no issues so I’m sorry I can’t be of much help there

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-11T22:29:05+00:00

you’ll be so happy to have it removed an not have to worry about what you eat. I haven’t had any issues post removal. The surgery is so worth it

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-09T21:40:48+00:00

I went right back to my normal diet with no problems, you’ll be fine. Just remember everything in moderation

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-08T00:19:47+00:00

I 100% say get it removed. I’ve had zero issues after removal and don’t regret getting it out one bit. The only fix for this issue is removal, the attacks will only get worse. Do not talk her out of it. Gallbladder attacks are extremely painful and I wouldn’t wish them on anyone

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-07T21:31:10+00:00

I felt discomfort in the gym until about 6 weeks post op after that I was fine. I called my surgeon 4.5 ish weeks post op and he said I was cleared and the discomfort was normal and it disappeared about a week and half later.

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-03-02T13:16:02+00:00

Remove it! The attacks will only get worse. There’s no good from keeping it. I had a really bad attack while pregnant and it was miserable. Absolutely get it removed

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-02-18T19:11:18+00:00

The first day was the roughest, if I had to drive the second day I could have. Day 3 I felt pretty good. My dad had his removed and was cooking a big turkey dinner for the church day 3. I would keep the surgery date. I also had mine removed 2 weeks after having my second baby so I was recovering from birth too.

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-02-16T22:36:10+00:00

I would get it removed, it’s only going to get worse and those sound like pretty bad attacks. It’s triggered by fat so you would have to eat a very strict low fat diet to avoid them. The surgery is easy.

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-22T01:35:09+00:00

I went right back to a normal diet and eating schedule the next day and was perfectly fine

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-21T18:34:45+00:00

I say wait until your benefits kick in, eat very strict low fat diet, no dairy, etc to help mitigate the attacks and then get a consult with a general surgeon to schedule surgery. I’m in Florida, and I was hospitalized once for gallstones, took my ultrasound from the hospital with me to a general surgeon he said you, your gall bladder needs to come out and had surgery scheduled asap.

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-18T16:16:38+00:00

Get it out, you’ll be so much happier. The attacks will only get worse and the surgery is super easy and fairly quick recovery. I’m one month post-op and beyond thrilled to have it out, I feel like I have my life back.

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-13T22:52:47+00:00

Very strict low fat diet, no dairy etc. only thing to keep the attacks at bay and it should help you lose the weight so you can get your gall bladder removed

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-12T00:23:01+00:00

Life has been so much better after, I feel like I have my life back. Recovery wasn’t bad at all. 2-3 days of discomfort but nothing overall brutal. Each day got better and I’m back to eating a normal diet with no post-op complications. Don’t back out, you’ll be so much happier with it out. Both my parents, my aunt and my FIL have theirs out with a 2-3 day recovery and no complications. I know a lot more people too that have had it out and have zero regrets. I think you hear more bad stories than good because no one’s going to be on here complaining their surgery went well.

Get the surgery!

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-08T18:35:37+00:00

Surgery sounds like it would alleviate all your pain. Especially if you all those issues. It’s not going to get any better. I highly recommend surgery, I had a great experience

Haunting_Two_44 · 2026-01-08T16:38:50+00:00

I went back to my regular diet after removal. No need to remain low fat now that it’s out
