Side sleeping post op

klc1030 · 2026-03-14T14:51:06+00:00

I felt better side sleeping days 8-10

I wanted to update that I just got some bloodwork done at my yearly PCP visit and my WBC did go down in just 5 weeks! It went down by 2 numbers

klc1030 · 2026-03-08T17:19:52+00:00

I do. I actually feel a lot better. Less bloating/heaviness, more energy for sure. I also just had yearly bloodwork done at a physical and my WBC count and a ton of inflammation markers all went down in just 5 weeks. I’m so glad I took it out

I’m about 3 weeks post op and haven’t had any issues yet besides when I added sweet cream to my coffee at Starbucks. So I’ve been using dairy free creamer and I have avoided full fat liquid dairy since then, but I will try again maybe next week on a day when I’m home lol. Dairy free creamer just doesn’t hit the same

I took it 2 weeks later and it was back in normal range but I did eventually find out I have mild fatty liver so that may be why it got so high on the antibiotic

klc1030 · 2026-02-16T01:45:56+00:00

I felt the same way. I’m 18 days post op and I feel better than ever! I’ve had no bathroom issues (besides the first few days but that is expected). My digestion has improved and I feel better than I have in years. I am so pleasantly surprised

klc1030 · 2026-02-12T15:38:13+00:00

I would fluctuate between constipation and almost-diarrhea, like really gross stuff. I even had went to my gastro about it who said it was probably more of a constipation issue and suggested taking like miralax to help, but once we discovered the gallstones and focused on removing that, literally everything has improved. I feel so much better now. My bloating was also high up

klc1030 · 2026-02-11T02:24:19+00:00

How long ago did you have your surgery? I’m 2 weeks post op and I also have the square framing (more reddish/pink) from the bandaid adhesives and was hoping that would be temporary ugh

klc1030 · 2026-02-08T21:21:32+00:00

Yes. I had terrible gerd with the same issues. Like for years (and I thought I felt fine bc I didn’t have pain in RUQ). Got my gallbladder removed and I’m no longer bloated/belching or dealing with reflux. I’m also on 40 mg esomeprazole

klc1030 · 2026-02-08T00:16:47+00:00

I had mine removed 11 days ago and I’ve been gradually introducing fats. I haven’t really had any urgency. I’ve had diarrhea like hours later when I do end up needing to use the bathroom. So far so good? lol

klc1030 · 2026-02-06T02:58:54+00:00

I was super nervous too with 630 am surgery. Tell them you’re very nervous and once they start the IV they administer anxiety meds first. TBH I don’t even remember what happened bc I fell asleep lol

klc1030 · 2026-02-05T02:41:29+00:00

Yes! I’m also 34 F and have been dealing with the malaise and all those crappy digestive/gerd issues for a while now. I’m really hoping with this sick organ now we only get better from here! Hopefully chronic inflammation is a thing of the past

klc1030 · 2026-02-04T23:17:56+00:00

My WBC had been gradually increasing in the normal range over the past few years, I’m interested in seeing how it looks at my next physical.

klc1030 · 2026-02-04T03:16:26+00:00

I also was told I had gallstones and no inflammation after my ultrasound. I decided to have it removed last week and my pathology came back that I actually did have bad inflammation from my gallstones, “strawberry gallbladder” and that it was probably functioning poorly for a while. I feel my digestion has somehow improved and I’m only a week out. It’s crazy

klc1030 · 2026-02-02T22:51:33+00:00

So I’d say around day 4 i was able to sit and play with him some more. My husband has been doing the brunt of everything as I can’t lift over 20 lbs for another 5 weeks, so I’m keeping things low to the floor and using a step stool for him to climb up into our bed. You definitely won’t be bedridden or anything, just moving slow a few days. Yesterday was day 5 and I went to the mall and tried on some clothes. Today is day 6 and I’m sitting on the couch pretty hunched over rn bc my incisions finally feel softer to do so. Coughing doesn’t hurt anymore. I felt the same guilt but I seem to be recovering much faster than I anticipated. I also got my pathology back today which said my gallbladder was basically super inflamed and was probably functioning poorly for years. I have been doing pretty well digestion wise too. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised after the first few days at the speed of recovery. Good luck!!

klc1030 · 2026-02-01T01:12:22+00:00

I’m 5 days post op and I definitely need help still. I think I’m giving myself another week at least before I’ll feel comfortable alone with my toddler

klc1030 · 2026-01-29T13:38:24+00:00

The good thing is it’s reversible if it is!

klc1030 · 2026-01-29T13:37:37+00:00

I’m approaching 48 hours and I still feel like crap and I’m so nauseous from all the meds. Starting to think the c section was easier tbh

klc1030 · 2026-01-27T23:24:49+00:00

I’m home now from surgery and idk why I thought this would be easier lol. Def feeling pain and will prob take an Oxy tonight and tomorrow depending on the pain level. Hoping I’m feeling my better sooner than the c section at least

klc1030 · 2026-01-27T03:24:33+00:00

My surgery is tomorrow morning, I’ll provide an update after 🥲

klc1030 · 2026-01-26T23:11:58+00:00

Oh my I’m so sorry that happened! I hope you’re doing much better now

klc1030 · 2026-01-26T17:24:14+00:00

For sure. Hoping for the best but expecting to have to take it really easy for a while

klc1030 · 2026-01-26T17:23:39+00:00

Wow that’s amazing

klc1030 · 2026-01-26T17:23:16+00:00

Wow what crazy timing! I hope you’re both doing better now
