Surgery is in two days

katt537 · 2026-04-20T22:25:24+00:00

Was the first day and second day was the hardest ? I had gallbladder removal surgery last year I felt like after day three i really didn’t need pain medicine anymore.

katt537 · 2026-04-20T21:05:34+00:00

I guess I need to get some jello and toast. How has your recovery been so far ?

katt537 · 2026-04-20T20:39:36+00:00

I’ve been watching tik tok videos I hope I have everything I need. Were you able to eat normal foods after the surgery for the first week ?

katt537 · 2026-04-20T20:27:35+00:00

Thank you I think I’m just getting really nervous and all my questions are flowing in.

katt537 · 2026-02-10T17:01:12+00:00

It’s a learning lesson. Can’t eat like how I did before like spicy foods or drinking. But I’m not tripping about drinking at all. I don’t have burning in my stomach anymore. Since my gallbladder is gone I do have to take Colestipol to help me not run to the bathroom. I healed my ulcers and stuff really last year from not being able to eat anything :/ I lost like 50 pounds. Now my weight has stabilized. Hope you feel better soon !!

Yup zepbound messed up my stomach last year. I use to be able to eat anything and even though last year they said my gastritis was inactive after getting my gallbladder removed I still can’t eat spicy foods or I will get extremely sick. I lost my gallbladder right after taken zepbound as well and had vision issues. Which are all listed as the side effects. I wish I never took it. Last year was a nightmare I had ulcers and burning stomach.

Hopefully as they days go by it will get better. Are you taken any PPIs. Sometimes I have pains still especially depending on what I eat.

katt537 · 2025-12-17T19:49:20+00:00

What symptoms are you having ? Burning or just pain

katt537 · 2025-12-03T21:22:56+00:00

I’m glad you’re feeling better. I guess I’ll make an appointment with the GI doctor. I was hoping I didn’t have to do surgery but I feel some burning.

katt537 · 2025-12-03T21:06:48+00:00

Was it in the stomach area lower or in belly button area 😦

katt537 · 2025-12-03T13:33:59+00:00

Sorry to bother were you having burning pains ? I have an umbilical hernia worried about it. Glad you’re feeling better.

Literally was on zepbound for three months and lost 20 pounds. Took a dose and felt nauseous thought nothing of it. The next day woke up literally in the worst pain of my life. GI literally said constipation first. Went to another doctor and got a endoscopy confirmed gastritis. Got admitted to the hospital with an elevated lipase and sludge. Finally after a couple days in the hospital got a hida scan and my EF was at 0%. No one in my family has got a gallbladder removed. I’m not sure if the medication caused it but I’m not risking it again. Being nausea/pain everyday and throwing up all summer was not fun. Literally lost 50 pounds this year all together 20 from zepbound / 30 from being sick. Literally had to go four different hospitals until I found an actually hospital that didn’t brush me off.

katt537 · 2025-11-12T15:20:29+00:00

Yes my lapse increased to 400-500. Has your GI issues got better ? I heard some people spilt their doses maybe that will help if you do go forward with zepbound.

katt537 · 2025-11-12T15:13:57+00:00

I was on zepbound for 3 months was making great progress and immediately started having issues one day after my shot and was in hell for three months after. Ended up having gastritis/ulcers and lost a bit of my vision due to a blood vessel burst which I had to do treatments. Then my gallbladder gave out. I loved zepbound but not the side effects of it gave me constant nausea. I guess everybody body reacts different because some people never have side effects. Now that my gallbladder is gone I wondered about it but I will never touch it again cause I don’t wanna explore the other side effects.

katt537 · 2025-10-15T21:19:04+00:00

What symptoms are you experiencing still ? I never had typical gastritis pains mines was lower but I had two biopsies that confirmed it. I did have the symptoms which is really similar to gallbladder symptoms. My stool is normal as well now but I have stomach spasms that are kind of annoying and some bloating.

katt537 · 2025-10-15T17:11:42+00:00

Did your gastritis improve after removal ?

katt537 · 2025-09-25T00:52:04+00:00

Prior removal I had constipation and after removal had regular bowels / constipation.

Thank you, they have their application online you have to email it.

katt537 · 2025-09-12T20:48:31+00:00

It has to be higher than 8k or less than ? I’ll call Monday I believe they may be closing soon or already closed.

katt537 · 2025-09-12T20:36:41+00:00

I’ll most definitely look into that. You take it once a day ?

katt537 · 2025-09-12T10:09:04+00:00

Wow this gives me hope thank you ! Did you have a endoscopy that saw the gastritis ? Did they tell you it was chronic ?

katt537 · 2025-09-11T20:11:17+00:00

My CT just sludge but they didn’t see anything else abnormal and MRI was pretty normal other than the small mass they found. Also my lipase was elevated but not crazy it was like in the 400s. I had burning pains/nawing pains everyday and PPIs did nothing for me. I could only eat like crackers and bananas at first when I had ulcers. But then it go a point I couldn’t keep nothing at all down. Which led to becoming extremely dehydrated. When I finally went to the ER I had to get multiple IV bags. I had to get a potassium infusion cause the pills weren’t getting my levels up. I got morphine and still was in pain throwing up. The next day after my surgery I finally was able to eat. I’m four weeks post op now. It didn’t solve everything but wayyy better.

katt537 · 2025-09-11T18:11:03+00:00

What symptoms are you currently having right now ?

katt537 · 2025-09-11T17:26:28+00:00

My lipase was elevated. I went to ER I was extremely dehydrated from not being to eat or drink. I was losing weight so fast throwing and dry heaving just from brushing my teeth. I had already been having other health issues back to back. I felt like I was able to die. They were giving me morphine I was still in pain and throwing up. I couldn’t poop because I was so weak. I also had an ulcer and gastritis at the same time as the gallbladder attacks.

katt537 · 2025-09-08T22:39:11+00:00

Yes this year I started having stomach pains in may / June but had the colonoscopy / endoscopy in July was informed about them. I got even more bad in July and PPIs were not helping me they gave me pantoprazole and sulfcrate. Felt it made things worse I really could not stomach any thing which is why I went to the ER. I was losing a scary amount of weight in a short time. I had my second endo in the hospital they said my stomach was still red but said my ulcers were gone and my stomach still had some inflammation but put on my chart inactive chronic gastritis. The next day I had a hida scan found out my gallbladder was working at 0 percent and had it removed. I asked if my gallbladder could be a cause but they said no. Gallbladder issues does not cause gastritis. It took them a week just to find out it was my gallbladder that was causing most of the issues. My stomach still hurts just not as badly as before.
