Your body is just going through a lot, and tiredness is one of the symptoms. I had my gallbladder removed in june. Still sick, found out that there was a stone stuck in my bile duct, and they had to remove it via an ercp.

You'll feel much better soon!

Hi and thanks for that lori.

I hope your recovery is going better now they have removed those stones from your bile ducts. My attack have really increased in frequency....Around 2/3 attacks each week. I am currently eating nothing but low fat soup and drinking water! I have lost just over 4 stone since april.....Though I would accept I could well afford to lose it, its not good weight loss, I feel awful and its now getting to a stage where I cant afford to lose much more! I'm off to the hospital again on monday, this time for a mri scan. I never ever thought I would want surgery so much but I have had enough now!!!

You will feel a lot better after the ercp. I went through the same thing a few months ago and my bile duct was completely blocked when I came in. I was in a lot of pain even the same day the ercp was done, and afterwards it was as if the pain never had been there.

I've also had pancreatitis as a side effect of the stone in the bile duct and yes, you lose a lot of weight and get tired. Your liver is not working very well when your bile duct is blocked and due to that you get tired and drained.

Good luck with the mri and I hope the surgery will solve things for you.

Hi

i went for an mri scan last week and was told they couldn't see my gallbladder despite being in the machine for 40 minutes?? Does anyone have idea why this might be??

I'm also due for the ercp on wednesday so im hoping for a little less pain afterwards!

Had ercp on wednesday. Short bout of pancreatitis afterwards but allowed home that evening. Ercp showed no stones in my bile ducts but they cut the ducts as they said I do have small stones in my gallbladder (now they can see it!!).
I have been having cramping pains in the middle of my stomach, in between my ribs ever since. This is a new sensation which started only since the procedure
