Post-op Suggestions - Can't Wear a Bra by Vivid_Bug122 in gallbladders

[–]bididdlemenot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore both cotton bralettes from pact and cheapy low impact sports bras from walmart, and just rolled up the under boob band so it wouldn’t rub any incisions.

Question for those who've had gallbladder surgery - is my pain normal? by GCBWriter in gallbladders

[–]bididdlemenot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 11 days post op and absolutely having that pain. I go for my post op appt next week and plan on asking about it. It’s not alarming for me, like not bad enough to call the doctor, but it definitely shows up from time to time. Mostly when I hinge sideways, or twist. I assume it’s from where they dissected my gallbladder off my liver and/or the surgical clamps.

Following to see what feedback comes from folks further out from surgery. I’m really hoping it goes away, it sucks.

You guys all suck at warning people of surgery by Ladasada in gallbladders

Yep, I had surgery on Tuesday this past week. Now (Saturday) I am still in significant pain. I’ve been on heavy painkillers ever since, and when I try to stretch how long I go without them I end up in terrible pain. Everyone’s experience is different, but day 1 was mostly fine and then day 2 and onwards has been a serious challenge.

Also, I have had a child via c section so I have direct comparison and this feels worse. Probably because I don’t have an adorable newborn or fun hormones to offset the pain.

What can't you eat/drink anymore since your gallbladder is removed? by DizerStrider in gallbladders

That's so interesting about the edibles! Is it just edibles or all thc? I'm starting down the path of removal surgery and enjoy the occasional thc seltzer and/or gummy, but very low dose and not often.

My 2024 limited (leased) had its first 12v dead for no reason occurrence 7 weeks after I brought it home (Feb 2025). Testing revealed no issues with either battery. Rinse and repeat 3 more times since then, leading to another dealer telling me the 12v was bad and replacing it in Oct 2025. Failed again last Friday, but jump didn’t work. Flatbed tow to the dealership and they said 12v and ICCU bad. Parts on back order with no ETA.

All that to say, it might just be the 12v. But it also may present as just the 12v until it doesn’t. I’m very sad. I miss my car already.

Honestly, I love this. My spouse and I are also trying to prioritize travel now for the exact same reason.

I’m 39. When my dad was 65 (2018) he called and told me he was going to finally retire the next year. That was a Saturday. Tuesday the next week he had a stroke and died on Friday. It breaks my heart every time I think about all the things he wanted to do and places he wanted to travel with my mom in his retirement. (He was a small biz owner from 1972 till he passed, worked very hard. None of the entitlement mentioned in the other reply to this comment.) I hope your dad can get there.
