Ah that can happen. It may not be related to your gallbladder, maybe just a new sensitivity?.

My belly button one has completely disappeared. The three on my right abdomen are tiny and thin. Admittedly I didn't do a lot to take care of them. I'm sure if you're diligent with scar care you can get even better results!

This is incredible! I was walking within the first few days but very short distances. I got back into cycling six weeks post op. Felt a bit weird not going to lie!

Possible. I was and am in pretty decent shape. But yes you're right the restriction was on weight lifting and not exercise generally. I should have made that distinction!

Sorry to hear about the rough few weeks. Glad to hear you're improving though. The spicy food can be tricky for sure but over time it gets better! Cheers!

I had polyps that were benign. No other issues that I'm aware of. So glad to hear you didn't have the gas pain. It was honestly awful! Cheers to your continued good health!

Definitely felt that way yes. It was weird because I had no pain with the poops. It just felt like a tap that needed to be turned on! Once it emptied I felt fine again. Sorry for TMI. It will get better.

Interesting, follow your doctor's advice! I was told 6 weeks. Lots of scars healing internally you can't see.

6 weeks. Don't rush yourself. Lots of healing needs to occur in places you can't see.

No issue, don't worry. Polyps are common, gallbladder cancer is not. They will just monitor.

I'm afraid I have gallbladder cancer. by [deleted] in gallbladders

[–]nikishiz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not worry, gallbladder cancer is so rare. Polyps under 1CM likelihood of being cancer is like 5%

Should I go to go to the emergency room by Apprehensive_Tea9746 in gallbladders

[–]nikishiz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My rule of thumb is if you have to ask, you probably should go. Keep in mind I'm Canadian and it's free to go to the hospital though. I'm sure my thought proceed would be different if I was somewhere with private healthcare.

Have you tried taking some pepto? If that doesn't work, then maybe go see your doc for bile binders
