Q: Gallblader need removed
asked by: irinauchitel on February 6th, 2009

for 3 yrs i felt horrible, nausea indigestion, heartburn, pain in my left and right side i did all the test posible, they all came negative. i changed 5 doctors no one could find what was wrong with me, the only thing i knew i had gastritis which doctors told me i cant have such severe symptoms from gastritis. then i had ERCP done by my last doctor and he found that i had obstraction that looked like a weird shape of stone stock in my bile duct between my gallblader and pancreas and my bile duct was very narrow, the procedure took 3 hours of removing that stone my bile duct was dilated and stents were put inside bile duct, then in 5 days my stents collapsed and we had to remove them and doctor ballooned that area again. i have been feeling much better after this procedure like 80%. but i still get nauseas when i eat something that has sauce or sushi or that containes mayo, sweets but lately i started having pressure in my right side where my gallblader is and in the back, its just pressure not pain, so i had tests done, i dont have stones in gallblader now, but test showed that gallbladder works only 17% which doctor said its almost dead and recomended to remove it, my concern is if i keep it will i damage other organs {i have read that i can put pancreas in danger}, if i can again develop stone in my bile duct that goes to pancreas and put myself in danger or i should remove it and keep my self save, i just dont want to feel worse after removing then i feel right now even with little nausea and presure. please help

if advice still needed
I understand your concern but my experience was this...get rid of the gall bladder. I took all the tests and the tests showed no problems. My doctor said it was my choice as to what to do. I had it removed. On my 2 week checkup, my doctor said after seeing the gall bladder, it needed removed even though the tests didn't show it.

I haven't had any problems lately. I will say for a couple of months after the surgery, I had diarrhea and yes that sucked..but it passed. I have been great ever since.
