Q: weight loss after gallbladder surgery
asked by: HeatherJL on May 19th, 2008

My mom had her gall bladder removed in October. Since then, she has had many, many things wrong with her, and not one DR knows what is going on. All MRIs, CATSCANS, and bloodwork comes back with no infections, no cancer, nothing unusual. However, here are her symptoms, she has sever lower back pain, she cannot eat ( at most 800 cal. a day from liquids-Ensure), she gags when she tries to eat solid foods, therefor she has lost about 50 lbs., she has one kidney functioning at about 7% and has had infections in that kidney, but she was hospitalized and that was treated and taken care of, her stomach has a constant bloated and full feeling, she is extremely constipated and can only have a BM if she drinks prune juice. Her weakness, I think, stems from lack of nutrients becasue she's unable to eat. We are getting desperate for answers. My mom is young, only 62, and was very healthy before she had to have her gall bladder removed due to an attack last October. Any help, any advice, would be greatly appreciated

gall bladder
I am sorry that I am just now seeing your post and I am interested as to what happened with your mom. My son just had his gallbladder removed and of course your situation concerns me.

Thank you for your time,
Lee Tipton
