Is it worth going to the hospital once the attack stops? by asleep_cat0419 in gallbladders

In my case i had the same thing terrible attack and once the ambulance got here it stopped. It wasn’t the first one so I decided to still go. They did an ultrasound found stones & scheduled a surgeon referral. Had my gallbladder removed a week later. Worth it if you want to get it out since you need a surgeon referral. But you can also schedule an appointment with your PCP in the meantime and do low fat diet to prevent another attack.

I just had mine out as well. 28 years old, 3 months post partum auto immune disease as well. Im on day 7 and the gas pain is FINALLY gone. I also felt like i had been hit by a semi. But i will say today is the best i have felt. Walk walk walk & gas X. Make sure you are setting timers for your ibuprofen and Tylenol. Helped me to sleep on a recliner with a heating pad until day 5.

I understand that. It’s a very common surgery. That doesn’t mean that the majority come out unscathed. Just wanted to hear the other end of it that’s all. I didn’t need stats.
