Nausea After Gallbladder Removal Posted: 11-15-05 16:21pm
I had my gallbladder out four weeks ago
with minimally invasive surgery. I'm a
36 woman and four months post-partum.
After each pregnancy I was having severe
abdominal and back pain that went
undiagnosed for years because they never
found any gallstones. But this time they
did a hida (or pipida) scan and discovered
my gallbladder had only 12% output. The
surgeon said the organ was really diseased
and inflammed an needed to come out.
My recovery has been rather slow as I
still have persistent nausea, especially
after eating, along with residual
abdominal pain. It doesn't seem to
matter what the food is as I already have
a rather low-fat diet with lots of whole
grains, fruits and veggies. I take
zofran when it gets too bad. Is this
common? Will it eventually go away?
My surgeon ordered an ultrasound to look
for bile leaks, and that came back normal.
My liver function was initially elevated
but has since come back to normal range.
I'm seeing my regular physician later this
week as my surgeon said she doesn't think
it's related to the surgery. Any advice
on what to ask about?

Its not uncommon to have nausea following
surgery. I get it sometimes still &
I am 6 weeks post surgery. Sounds like
the drs are testing for the right things.
Maybe discuss it again with your dr &
see if anymore tests can be carried out.

i have the exact same problem. I had my
gb out 7 weeks ago. Since then I have
been back in the hospital and had more
tests and given zofran. I am always
nausea and vomiting. I go to the Dr.
This week. I hope they can tell me
something
