#laparoscopic gallbladder surgery

[aroraelitecare]

Gallbladder problems often start with symptoms that are easy to dismiss as indigestion or a stomach upset. However, recurring discomfort can sometimes signal an underlying issue that needs medical attention.

Common warning signs include:

• Pain in the upper right abdomen, especially after eating fatty foods • Nausea or vomiting that keeps coming back • Bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort after meals • Pain that spreads to the back or right shoulder • Fever, chills, or yellowing of the skin and eyes in more serious cases

While not every episode of abdominal pain is related to the gallbladder, persistent or recurring symptoms should not be ignored. Early evaluation can help identify gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder conditions before complications develop.

Me and the little gallbladder that could Part 3. Surgery

The last time on DragonballZ... I was off to surgery on 11th of August at 10.45

Right before it I got a Xanax... man, I love Xanax such a gentle lover.

On the way I told I super bad joke to the orderly and we chatted a bit, one thing about these operation ward is that it's suuuper cold, so being naked under a blanket is what a baby feels like getting air in Scandinavia probably.

Then at around 11:05 I got transfered to the operating table and got wheeled in to get started on anesthesia. First, my wrist cannula was no longer good so I got one in the back of my left hand and I got a face mask with oxigen to fill up my lungs. Meanwhile, you get your limbs situated and secured so you don't accidentally move.

Next they gave me a strong sedative, which made me dizzy. After a few seconds you get the room gets extremely spinny and the doctor asks if you feel dizzy. The actual anesthesia was just the doctor telling me: "And now we're going to sleep." That's the last thing I remember.

The next few things are just snippets and small moments that I remember:

First, I hear is someone speaking: "We're done then, the time is one oh five" (so 13:05 or 1:05pm).

Next they transfer me to a bed.

Then orderly is wheeling me back into the observation room, where they keep you for some time it's anywhere from 45 minutes to hours, depending on the severity of the surgery.

I "wake up" in the observation room to someone asking me to open my eyes, which I do. And I remember shaking like a leaf because for some reason the observation room felt so so so cold. Maybe it was just coming off anesthesia still. I don't know, but I call out and try to tell someone that I'm cold and I get my blanket. I was probably nonsensical still.

Next the orderly is taking me back to my room and I realize that it's the wrong room on the surgery unit. I look to the right, there's an unfamiliar mug and a glasses case on the bedside table. There are some people in the room and I tell them: "these are not my things, this is not my room, my room is number 667, my name is xyz". I get taken to the right room.

By this point it's around 14:00. After this I sleep for a bit and I wake up much more coherent at around 15:00 because I have to pee. They don't want to let me get up and we struggle about bedpans and I throw a mini tantrum because things are getting dire.

After one and a half hour (1,5!!!) of trying at around 16:30 I'm freaking ready to piss in the fucking bed like a petty bitch. But a male nurse comes to the rescue while the other nurses are distracted and helps me get up. He gets me dressed super respectfully and explains how to get out of bed, also assists me a bit and I walk the 2,5 metres to the toilet by myself, he hovers behind me in case I fall. Later I hear him getting a dressing down from the lead nurse for letting me get up. I tell him, that he was a life saver by helping me.

The rest of the day I mostly sleep and call my family and friends in the evening to tell them I live.

The next day on 12th of August I rest and slowly start moving, I talk a walk, sit at the table, and talk to the dietitian, I get some broth for dinner too.

They let me go home on the 13th of August after breakfast.

The conclusion I lost at least 14kgs or 30 pounds. I have to keep a super strict diet for 6 weeks and then I can slowly introduce food back into my diet.

The diet is this, you have to eat many small meals a day like 4 or 5.

No fat, no red meat, no raw veggies, no raw fruit, no fruit with small seeds, no oils seeds, no carbonated drinks, no bloating food, no chocolate, no fried food.

Yes fibre, yes low fat dairy, yes pureed food, yes lean meat, yes fish.

I'm eating so healthy.

Me and the little gallbladder that could Part 2.

Admitted to Surgery Unit on the 7th of July at around noon, Friday.

7th of July, Friday, I get pain, nausea, and cramp medication and told to not drink or eat anything. Evening visit explains that they can't see any reason for an emergency surgery yet. They have quite a few severe cases to get through. So they will observe over the weekend and if my condition worsens I'll get bumped up to emergency. My cousin brings me my stuff that I already prepared a week ago, I arrange for the cat to get fed and my car get taken home. I get a cannula in my left wrist. I sleep the whole day and night practically.

If you stay in the hospital here, there is a daily schedule that happens. It roughly goes like this (ps. I use the 24h clock or military time):

Wake up 4.00

Nurse handover 5.00

Medication, blood pressure, tests, beds made from 6.00 to 8.00

Breakfast 8.00

First doctor visit between 8.00 and 9:00

Big visit with Unit lead all the nurses and doctors and residents around 9.00

Cleaning crew after 9.00

Lunch 12.00

Medication 14.00

Outside visitors, friends, family etc. 15.30 to 17.00

Dinner 17.00

Big visit with Unit lead again anywhere between 19.00 to 21.00

Nurse handover 19.00

Medication 20.00

Lights out 21.00

8th of July, Saturday, can't have food or water all day. I get medicine and IV for hydration. The anesthesiologist comes and asks me all the questions also explains how the whole process will go. I get blood dawn for a bloodtest, 5 minutes later the nurse comes back she also needs blood for bloodtype, because I can only get special blood (yay, autoimmune disease!!!) So since Thursday this is my 4th bloodletting. I'm starting to feel like an Edwardian noblewoman.

9th of July, Sunday, can't have food, third day without food, but today I can have water till mignight. I get medicine. Nothing happens.

10th of July, Monday, morning big visit tells me that they still have 3 emergercy cases to get through so if they can they'll fit me in but it's unlikely. It's okay, I get it, I no longer want to actively perish, my back still hurts but it's relatively okay. I'm allowed to have some sweet crackers for the day and ONE cup of broth for lunch. I'm looking forward to that soup like it's the second coming of Jesus. I eat 2 crackers and one cup of tea. This jumpstarts my whole digestive system and the whole things comes out with a vengence... At noon the nurse tells me that I'm not allowed to drink or eat anything because they might do the surgery, everything will be decided by 15.00. Nothing happens in the end and I'm once again not allowed to consume anything only liquid till mignight. I get a cup of broth for dinner... it's so good I could cry.

11th of July, Tuesday, the surgeon comes in the morning and tells me that they might not get to me today. I tell this to the Unit lead and the surgeon is told off not to tell patients things like that. Unit lead explains that at the moment they only have one, 1, ONE operating theatre running??? They might have to delay. He sees my face which is not happy, asks me what's wrong. Nothing, absolutely nothing is wrong. Spoiler: I lied. I'm a bit pissed off now. What do you mean one OR? This is a university training hospital, a big county hospital serving around 400k people, what do you mean ONE OR? What if there is a mass casuality??? What the hell? Fuck staff shortages, I bet that's why this is happening. Thank fuck, the maternity ward is a whole different building. 10.45 it's go time!!! I'm so ready for it to be over. Surgery, surgery, surgery.

Me and the little gallbladder that could. Part 1.

Hi guys, gals, nbs and everyone else, I dropped off the face of the earth since last Thrusday? Friday? Aaannnyyyway, guess what:

This happened.

My gallbladder tried to kills me but the little bastard got taken out and now is in the biological waste in the hospital.

I first had gallbladder cramps back in early 2023 like 3 times. At that time they found a pretty large 10mm gallstone. The doctors were not unified on what I should really do, some told me to get it taken it out, some told me to leave it if I keep a gallbladder diet and if it gets worse then take it out. Had some follow up ultrasounds and the gallstone kep growing and growing till it made to 16mm.

So I was like "Eh, it's probably fiiine." Even though my friend who has both given birth AND had gallbladder cramps told me, gallbladder cramps hurt more than vaginal birth. So, I was very careful with what I ate and had no problems till this July.

On the 7th of July I had to go to Urgent Care because no pain medication worked. Got ultrasound (now the sucker is 20mm), pain medication, fixed up, go home. They tell me to call the Surgery Clinic and get it removed. Sure, sure, sure.

The 18th of July same thing happens. Urgent Care, ultrasound, medicine, home. But UH OH... they low level pain won't go away... for two weeks I can feel the stabbing, squeezing pain, like someone is holding one of your organs in a fist and crushing it. Oh. No. Unfortunately no fever, no vomiting, not a true emergency. I try to tough it out for two weeks.

The 2nd of August the pain gets worse. Urgent Care, ultrasound, medicine, medicine AND a paper for a surgery consult for next morning. Nice. Show up at the Surgery Clinic. They ask a lot of questions. No sympthoms warrant and emergency surgery they put me of the list. By this time the pain never lessens. Can't eat, can't sleep, can't do anything. I can't tough it out anymore I have to admit defeat and play a dying Victorian child.

The 7th of August go to Urgent Care again by now they are fed up with me AND the Surgery Clinic too. I get a cannula placed can't even feel it compared to my back. Something comes apart and now I have blood running down to my wrist. It's fine, blood doesn't make me sick. I tell the Urgent Care nurse not to worry it was a 10/10 cannula I'm fine. Ultrasound, EKG, NO pain medicine so the Surgery Clinic can see how shitty I feel next morning.

I'm at the Surgery Clinic at 6:15, they open at 7:00, my paper is the first one in. I wear my shirt that unfortunately makes me look very sick without make-up. (Yellow is NOT my colour.) I tell them I had a 37,2Celsius "fever" last night, and the pain is constant. They send me to get an urgent blood draw (this is my 3rd in a week) tell me to come back in 2 hours. Meanwhile they call someone from the Surgery Unit to looks at me. She takes one look and declares that they'll keep me for observasion. Success!! I get admited.

Gallbladder Surgery: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Recovery

Gallbladder problems are becoming increasingly common due to changing lifestyles, unhealthy eating habits, and rising obesity rates. While many people live with occasional digestive discomfort, recurring gallbladder pain should never be ignored. Timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment can prevent serious complications and improve your quality of life.

The gallbladder is a small organ located beneath the liver that stores bile, a digestive fluid that helps break down fats. When gallstones, inflammation, or other gallbladder diseases interfere with its function, Gallbladder Surgery: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Recovery becomes an important topic for patients seeking relief.

If you experience persistent upper abdominal pain or repeated digestive symptoms, consulting an experienced Gastroenterologist in Gurgaon can help determine whether surgery is the right option.

What Is Gallbladder Surgery?

Gallbladder Surgery: Symptoms, Diagnosis, Treatment & Recovery

Gallbladder Surgery, medically known as a cholecystectomy, is a procedure to remove the gallbladder when it becomes diseased or causes recurring symptoms. It is one of the most commonly performed abdominal surgeries and is considered safe and highly effective.

There are two main types of surgery:

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery

Also called keyhole surgery, this minimally invasive procedure uses small incisions and a camera to remove the gallbladder. It offers:

Smaller scars

Less pain

Reduced hospital stay

Faster recovery

Lower risk of complications

Open Gallbladder Surgery

Open surgery involves a larger incision and is usually recommended when severe inflammation, infection, or complex anatomy makes laparoscopic surgery unsuitable.

Symptoms That May Indicate You Need Gallbladder Surgery

Many people experience Gallstones Symptoms long before seeking medical care. Recognising these warning signs can help prevent complications.

Common symptoms include:

Severe pain in the upper right abdomen

Pain after eating fatty or oily foods

Pain that radiates to the back or right shoulder

Nausea and vomiting

Bloating

Indigestion

Fever

Jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes)

In some cases, Gallbladder Pain may feel similar to chest pain, particularly when it radiates to the upper abdomen or shoulder. However, any chest pain should always be evaluated promptly to rule out heart-related conditions.

Common Causes

Several conditions can lead to Gallbladder Disease and eventually require Gallbladder Removal Surgery.

The most common causes include:

Gallstones

Acute or chronic cholecystitis (gallbladder inflammation)

Gallbladder polyps

Bile duct blockage

Gallbladder infection

Porcelain gallbladder, a rare condition associated with long-standing inflammation

Early diagnosis helps prevent complications such as severe infection or pancreatitis.

Diagnosis

At Gutwell Clinic, a thorough evaluation helps identify the exact cause of gallbladder symptoms.

Diagnostic tests may include:

Detailed medical history

Physical examination

Abdominal ultrasound (the first-line investigation)

CT scan

MRI or MRCP for bile duct assessment

Blood tests

Liver function tests

These investigations help determine whether surgery or conservative treatment is appropriate.

Treatment Options

Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms, the presence of complications, and the patient's overall health.

Conservative Treatment

For mild cases, your gastroenterologist may recommend:

Pain-relieving medications

Antibiotics if infection is present

Low-fat dietary modifications

Observation with regular follow-up

Surgical Treatment

Patients with recurrent gallstone attacks, severe inflammation, or complications often benefit from surgery.

Laparoscopic Gallbladder Surgery remains the preferred approach because it offers:

Minimal pain

Faster healing

Short hospital stay

Early return to daily activities

Lower risk of wound infection

Open surgery may still be required in selected complex cases.

Recovery After Gallbladder Surgery

Recovery is generally smooth, especially after laparoscopic surgery.

Most patients can expect:

Hospital discharge within 24 hours

Light walking the same day

Return to routine activities within one to two weeks

Return to work within one to three weeks, depending on the nature of the job

Some patients may temporarily experience loose stools or mild digestive changes after Gallbladder Removal Surgery, but these usually improve within a few weeks.

Following your doctor's instructions and attending follow-up appointments are important for a successful recovery.

Diet After Gallbladder Surgery

Your digestive system adapts well after gallbladder removal, but dietary adjustments during recovery can improve comfort.

Recommended foods include:

Low-fat meals

Fresh fruits and vegetables

Whole grains

Lean proteins

Plenty of fluids

Avoid:

Fried foods

Fatty meals

Highly processed foods

Excessively spicy dishes

Heavy meals

Eating smaller, frequent meals often improves digestion during the recovery period.

Possible Risks and Complications

Gallbladder surgery is generally very safe when performed by experienced specialists.

Although uncommon, possible complications include:

Infection

Bleeding

Bile leak

Injury to nearby structures

Rare anaesthesia-related complications

Regular follow-up helps detect and manage any concerns promptly.

When Should You Consult a Gastroenterologist?

Seek medical attention if you experience:

Persistent upper abdominal pain

Recurrent gallstone attacks

Fever with abdominal pain

Persistent vomiting

Jaundice

Difficulty eating due to digestive symptoms

Early consultation with a Gastroenterologist in Gurgaon can prevent complications and ensure timely treatment.

Just had my gallbladder taken out, and no one gives you a heads up about the emotional side of everything. I am one very broke person, so having to figure out how to eat low-fat is honestly not that easy, and I also happen to love sweets; they make me happy as someone who is not the happiest a lot of the time. So knowing that I have to really change up my everyday diet for the most part and not knowing how my stomach is going to react to certain things has made me very anxious and very emotional because of that anxiety. So far, my safe foods are plain rice, baked chicken, chicken noodle soup, bread, bananas, Jell-O, plain pancakes, and plain vanilla waffles because I am scared to even LOOK at anything else. I have had about three full-on breakdowns just today, and I just know I’ll probably have a bit more on this journey in the next few months. I just really need someone; anyone to let me know that it does get better.
