hey guys I have an update from my gallbladder surgery. So I had it done just over 2 weeks ago, I just missed a week of work and surgeon was able to do it laproscopically. He stated there was barely any scar tissue, which is surprising for having 10+ surgeries in the past 12 years. Dr Remzi must have did a good job removing them when I had my redo 5 years ago. Oddly enough I still have a pain under my left rib cage that just persists, even though the lapro was done on the right side but main area was right in center under breast bone. hoping its just residual pain from the center going that way? I don't know. I stayed away frim anything fatty in the first week but now I am almost back to my regular diet with no issues from that.
so one good thing and one bad thing from the surgery.. the bad thing is I don't feel anydifferent as far as aches and pains in my abdomen. Dr Shen thought those pains were from adhesions rather than the gallbladder, but still having same pains now. surgeon said he didn't run into many adhesions unless they are just where he wasn't? the good thing is my digestion issues haven't changed. I have always had some minor leakage since my redo 5 years ago and I was afraid that once gallbladder came out it would get worse and I would need a diaper or something, but honestly that hasn't gotten worse at all so that's good. Now I just have the pain of a $4,000 medical bill.. sucks
