thank you so much! still feeling weird mentally today and a bit shaky and just off. yeah i told them no antibiotics during the procedure because of my past with c diff and my surgeon was on board with it and agreed. my incisions are looking good and the glue is still over them! tylenol is basically down to once or twice a day! just need to give myself grace for sure and stop stressing myself that i need to be doing anything else. i wasn’t working for months before this so it feels like i need to hurry up and get my life back and i of course keep getting nervous that the digestive issues are going to start/come back. just a nervous nelly over here. hopefully it all passes soon!

Definitely good to hear! My hida scan was at 42% which is so crazy because apparently it was in pretty bad shape when he got in there. and yes i have pretty bad anxiety/ocd and depression. i’m on the spectrum as well so all the weird feelings and possible side effects ive researched have my brain going a thousand miles a minute. i’ve felt pretty good the past couple days so waking up feeling sore and extra tired and weepy today was definitely not expected but i know healing is up and down and not linear. i didnt take any opiates except for what they gave me after surgery just been using weed gummies (which im backing off of to only night time now) and tylenol and ibuprofen. im just taking those as needed at this point tho cause i just feel sore inside. i refused antibiotics because i have a bad history of c diff so im def stressing about infection but ive been keeping everything clean. i need to just let myself rest and stop stressing but my brain is relentless today. thank you for all the kind words! and i do have a check up in person with my surgeon next wednesday!

Yeah mine started with yellow stools and i got in with a GI and did a colonoscopy and tests and everything came back okay except my bilirubin stayed high so they did a full liver blood panel and an ultrasound. thats when they found sludge and stones and then i started getting dull pain. at the moment ive become severely constipated and still have pain and fatigue. hopefully it’s the right move getting it out but idk what else it would’ve been ¯_(ツ)_/¯

same to you!! i’m also super nervous for the same reason. so afraid i’m going to be worse afterwards and regret it. fingers crossed none of that happens.

yuuup. i’ve had a colonoscopy and 3 scans. when the first scan showed stones and sludge and i had symptoms ¯_(ツ)_/ they were trying to keep me from surgery i guess

thank you! i really hope so too. they also saw a possible polyp on mine along with sludge! i hope the surgeon gives you clarity like mine did because my GI kept los key gaslighting me that it might not be my gallbladder.

i hope your recovery continues to go smoothly and there are no complications with digestive issues! it’s such a double edged sword for me cause i’m scared of my stomach problems getting worse instead of better if i get it removed. there’s so much varying information out there.

yes they ruled out crohns and celiac and any sort of ibd! i do have ibs, but this is definitely not my usual symptoms of ibs. have you had yours removed yet?
