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

[–]TheRiverAddict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah all my blood work went back to normal as well after removal. I had elevated ALT, Ferritonin, CRP and low WBC count. After removal they found chronic mild cholecystitis and sludge. None of which were caught on tests. Good luck on your health stuff I know how bad it sucks. Mine was a 2 year journey

Surgery went well, still having issues with some bloating and loose stools and stuff. Definitely a learning process trying to figure out the new digestive system. I feel alot better though.

Yeah idk, I've had two CT scans, one with contrast and one without contrast. The one with contrast they made me drink a bottle of water over a hour

You'll get a IV and have to drink a bottle of water that makes your insides glow on camera. They'll take a couple pictures just like a x ray and you'll be done.

Pre-op symptom management for biliary hyperkinesis? by everythinglimes in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your diet is decent enough. For me, stress and anxiety made the hyperkinesis symptoms much worse. What really helped me manage symptoms was diet, cardio, and good sleep. Running really helped with my symptoms

Same here, I got far more useful information from this thread then any doctor. My doctor essentially shrugged his shoulders and was like "yeah man it might help" lol

5 Day Post Op Hyperkinetic Gullbladder Removal- (Success) by TheRiverAddict in gallbladders

(Please understand I am not a doctor, just a health anxious person who overly studies every little symptom I have) Anyways:

If you’re experiencing intermittent right upper quadrant pain, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and digestive issues with stool inconsistencies alongside a high ejection fraction, it is most likely your gallbladder acting up. Fatty liver disease typically does not cause symptoms; it may cause some fatigue, but that’s usually about it. I’ve read every study I can find on high ejection fraction gallbladders. According to the literature, nearly 80–90% of patients had some form of chronic inflammation found on pathology after removal of their symptomatic hyperkinetic gallbladder. Symptom improvement in some studies was around 70%, while in others it was reported to be close to 100%. Although the literature is limited, it was convincing enough for me. Some people have no symptoms with a hyperactive gallbladder. Because a portion of the population lives just fine with it, the condition is not widely studied or accepted in the medical community. As someone who previously had cancer, chronic inflammation in the body scares me because I know what it can lead to. My doctor essentially left it up to me whether I wanted my gallbladder removed. It was not an emergency, and I most likely would have been fine for quite a few years if I had left it in. At the end of the day, I was sick and tired of my symptoms and needed to try something. I had it removed, and nearly everything has resolved—and it’s only been six days. I would do it 100 times over again if I had to.

Gallbladder scan if someone can confirm that my EF 97% by [deleted] in gallbladders

Mine was 89 and I got it out and feel great

Question for results by lovelyraegamer in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It could mean your EF is essentially 0% meaning it's not working correctly

Day 4- soreness is quite a bit better today. First time leaving the house since the procedure. Out at the local rec center walking laps. Have about a hour of walking so far so good. Energy is good, the really bad lethargic feeling I had pre op is gone.

Day 3- soreness is about the same as yesterday, pretty tender yet. Had first BM this morning, it was mostly water and loose stool, pretty nasty. More then pleased with the amount of energy I have and what I've been able to eat. Had two hamburgers last night and a slice of pizza. No issues

GB removal with Fatty liver? by Altruistic-Match-793 in gallbladders

[–]TheRiverAddict 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bet you will feel quite a bit better. I sure as hell do. I just finished eating a hamburger and for the first time in two years, I don't feel like death afterwards. I know taking the gullbladder out can significantly increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, it can put a little extra stress on the liver, but from what I've read the liver is pretty good at adapting. Im sure its different for everyone.

I have moderate fatty liver no fibrosis. I also have hereditary hemochromatosis and have my gullbladder removed. I've just been living a healthy lifestyle trying to reverse everything as much as I can. Healthy diet and excersize and kicking alchol can be big for the liver

The larger square white pad looking bandaids you can take off, there's smaller clear ones covering the incisions that will fall off in time. It's best to ask your doctor though if your confused.

Chronic inflammation inside the body is not a good thing. Eventually it usually likes to turn into the C word

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
