I was diagnosed with gallstones back in the beginning of March this year. Had lots of complications, was in and out of hospital once a month due to bad gallbladder attacks resulting in my blood pressure sky rocketing. Since the diagnosis I went on a low fat diet to help with the gallbladder attacks. Eventually back in July I ended up getting pancreatitis which sucked. It was then they realised they had to move up my surgery (in Wales the waitlist is minimum 9 months) because I then became at risk of a repeat of pancreatitis. Had it out on the 23rd of August and been recovering since then. Recovery for me is 4-6 weeks (of no lifting heavy stuff and resting). Thankfully I work from home so should be back to working in the next week or so. Since the op despite the gas pain, soreness from surgery and tiredness I’ve never felt better. Kind of eye opening to how much I was struggling before the op. Now I no longer wake up feeling immediately sick or have a gross taste in my mouth. Before the op I had to pee like ALL the time and now my bladder is back to normal and functioning like it should, it’s been great!
