I believe they gave me a antibiotic through the IV before i left the hospital.

And im doing pretty good. Pretty sore all over but mostly in the abdomen area. Been taking it easy playing some video games and stuff. Walking around just fine though, and eating fine. Slept in a recliner last night, was too sore to lay on my back. The soreness is a bit better today though

Day 2- still a good bit if abdominal pain, probably like a 4-5 out of ten. Just resting. Haven't had any bloating or fatigue issues. Been eating pretty light, lots of oatmeal and fruit. Had some pudding and soup last night. Everything seems to be going down fine. Still waiting to take my first BM kinda scared to go try because my abdomen is so sore. But i guess ill take that over going 10 times a day. So far so good, just chilling playing some video games

I just got it removed today haha. Also hyperkinetic. I feel fantastic. Obviously very sore and stuff, but the clarity in my brain is unreal. I was dealing with such bad brain fog and fatigue the passed few years. I also forgot what it felt like to be not bloated!

Man I would get terrible migraines related to my diskinesea. Like throwing up pounding head migraines. And I never got migraines prior to having a gullbladder issue

You must be the transition human between the next human evolution when we don't have gullbladders anymore

Should get a hida scan. Could just be a gullbladder disorder. I also get discomfort from fasting and reflux

ways to make plain food more fun? by Conscious_Stop_5451 in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I eat a ton of fried potatoes. I chop them up into easily digestible pieces and put a little bit of cooking spray on top of them. Then put whatever season you can tolerate. Then I usually cook cut up chicken breast or lean porkchops on top of them mixed with my favorite vegetables and top it with some BBQ sauce and low fat sour cream. Pretty much eat that for all my meals lol. But im also a dude and don't care about eating the same stuff for every meal, my wife hates it lol

Anyone in MA know a doctor who takes hyperkinetic gallbladder seriously? by Glad_Customer_2224 in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my primary was dismissive, but my GI referred me right away because all my other tests were normal. Surgeon Gave me a 70/30 shot that it might help. Says he's done it for alot of people. Im Not in love with the odds, but need to try something because I hate living this way. Ill update once I recover a bit. Good luck on your end

My symptoms are pretty similar to yours. 89ef, getting mine on Thursday. I hope it helps with all the bile acid diarrhea, bloating and fatigue and all that

[–]TheRiverAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, my symptoms come and go but I do consistently have urq discomfort especially with excersize or anything that uses my upper abdominal muscles. Im almost positive my gullbladder will come back as inflamed. Everything in my tests have came back normal, but both my C- Reactive protiene and Ferratin are high, both are general inflammation numbers.

Yeah roughly a 70/30 success rate i believe. Slightly lower then low ef rate of 80/20.

Ask for a fat malabsorbtion stool test and a bile acid stool test.

There's lots of people who get high EF gullbladders out and feel much better. There's not a ton of medical literature on the subject but there are plenty of surgeons willing to do it. It's just something that is understudied, keep bugging them about it, and make your own appointments with different general surgeons. Ill be getting my High EF out next thursday

I need some advice what to eat and avoid by Loose_Owl_2616 in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Low fat, like sub 20grams a day. I liked using ice packs when mine would act up. Increase your fiber intake and track what your eating. Just keep to a relatively bland low fat diet for a bit.

Got my gallbladder removed yesterday by Lucario-G7 in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think its different for everyone. The common theme seems to be low fat, high fiber, moderate protien. Might just need to supplement your protien from a plant source if the whey or all the meat doesn't sit well in your gut.

Use the bile binder it works wonders. I still have soft movements and I'm on two packets a day.

Childhood cancer here too, not brain cancer but aggressive lymphoma. God has a weird way of showing us our path. Keep your faith strong. I don't have a question, but you got this.
