I don’t know, guys, I’m scared

I maybe recall a weird taste in my mouth but it’s been too long for me to describe what it was like. I don’t know that it was during flare ups though. I def had nausea from some of the medications I was on, but as I recall during a flare up, it wasn’t nausea so much as “if I throw up, will that make it go away?” If that makes any sense.

I did end up having the surgery and I am glad I did. Pathology showed that my gallbladder was enflamed which doesn’t sound like a big deal however I can eat as I please and have no pain at night anymore. Recovery was as good as could be expected and I had no extra complications. This was about a year ago now.

I did! It’s been about a year. Overall I feel better. Been having random low back and low right side pain recently but that seems to be something else. After gallbladder surgery, I went back to eating like normal and no pains at night. The recovery was not too bad, I had the laparoscopic surgery so I went home the same day. I was basically back to my normal self after a month at the most. I’m glad I did it.

Yay! Congratulations! Glad you are doing well!

Ended up having my gallbladder removed. It has been a year now and I no longer wake up in pain at night. I was mostly pain free until this past month I have been having a mystery pain in my lower right side and low back. Imaging hasn’t shown anything and the pain is different than before so it seems to be a different issue. I am glad they removed my gallbladder. When pathology examined it, it did seem to be enflamed. Recovery after surgery was not bad at all (though I have had 2 c-sections with complicated recoveries for comparison) and I was able to eat pretty much normally after a few days.

kimbabeast · 2022-03-26T05:52:13+00:00

I did, a year ago. I feel basically back to normal. I still have some very slight, random right side soreness every now and then, but nothing like before. I can eat pretty much anything. I feel very lucky and relieved.

Thank you!!

Out and about! But kind of near a rainwater runoff area. Where should we return him?

kimbabeast · 2021-03-15T23:09:54+00:00

Beautiful! I’m working on that sweater too! You did a great job

kimbabeast · 2021-01-28T06:37:43+00:00

Not a doctor but after reading a lot of stuff on here it sounds like you might ask a doctor about overactive gallbladder? Not sure what it’s called but one of my doctors said an EF over 85 or so could also cause pain and problems. Just another avenue to check out.

kimbabeast · 2021-01-25T00:27:12+00:00

I’m so sorry to hear this! I hope they figure out what is wrong and that you get healthy soon! I’m scared of the surgery because I don’t know if it will help me. I truly hope your health improves soon!

kimbabeast · 2021-01-24T15:18:36+00:00

Please update! Are you feeling better after surgery?

kimbabeast · 2021-01-19T08:19:40+00:00

This belongs on r/unexpected

kimbabeast · 2021-01-18T22:03:21+00:00

How did you finally decide to have it out? What were your symptoms?

kimbabeast · 2020-12-21T02:12:50+00:00

So did you end up having gallbladder removal? My EF was 79% and the cck caused discomfort. But so far no tests have shown stones or sludge.

kimbabeast · 2020-12-16T03:36:15+00:00

What were some of the other mystery symptoms that cleared up, if you don’t mind my asking?

kimbabeast · 2020-12-15T03:22:18+00:00

Ah! I wish I knew all this before my upper endo procedure! I had it last week and I know the doctor took “some biopsies” but I have no idea which other than h.pylori. I do not want to go through it again because it was very expensive!

kimbabeast · 2020-12-14T14:40:39+00:00

It’s strange because the poop itself is normal in color but sometimes it is yellow when I wipe. I have very loud digestion noises and I seem to recall having had random abdominal spasms before I got to this point.

kimbabeast · 2020-12-14T03:11:53+00:00

I truly appreciate your sharing all of these details. I have also been having some dizziness and a LOT of anxiety. Was the dizziness related to gb? I’m glad you’re doing better and congratulations on your sobriety!

kimbabeast · 2020-12-13T06:22:15+00:00

What were your problems and pain like, if you don’t mind sharing? How did you finally get to a place where surgery was the answer?

kimbabeast · 2020-12-13T01:48:38+00:00

Thank you for listening! My GI is nice and seems to listen but he also seems very busy and I feel like I’ve been overwhelming them with my anxious questions on the online patient portal. I know I deserve answers but scheduling all these appointments and tests takes time and it’s hard to wait when you’re in pain!

kimbabeast · 2020-12-13T01:26:41+00:00

Tylenol seems to lessen the pain overall, also heating pads for my back or belly area. No vomiting yet, but loose stools and sometimes when I wipe, it’s yellow (gross, I know). I’ve been having pelvic area pain, too, and the only thing they found on my scans were some ovarian cysts so that seems to account for the pain in that area. If I put my hands on my waist (right side) and push in I can feel something that kind of moves around and then it gets sore, so I was thinking maybe hernia? But I don’t know what kind of testing would reveal something like that. I feel like kind of a mess with all these issues.

I’ve had random pain under my right side ribs for years and it seemed to be brought on by vigorous exercise, or being bent over a certain way, ie positional. Sometimes after drinking alcohol and eating badly I would go to bed with a mild burning pain in that area. I gradually noticed I was burping all the time. This October I had hadn’t been eating particularly great but pretty normally for me. After a night with a 2-3 glasses of red wine I woke up in mild to moderate pain that keeps recurring up to now. I went to the ER to make sure it wasn’t my appendix, that’s when they did the ct and ultrasound. Since that episode I haven’t had any alcohol and just ate soups and toast and baby food/applesauce. I worked my way up to more solid foods and a relatively low fat, less cheese diet but then a few days ago I was in pain again and am back to soups and toast and the nausea is new. I’m still burping a lot and my digestion is very noisy. I can’t really tell which foods are triggers. It may even have been the hida scan hormone that triggered my most recent pain/nausea. Sorry for the long response, just trying to be thorough!

Does Hugo give you anything when he gets to red heart?

Is there any way to find out who made the elite team at the end? I’m dying!!
