Hi David! Thank you for the kind words! It was a pleasure taking care of you!
nice of you to share this. mine was done in emergency had to make decision on the spot then surgery 4 hours later. wish i knew about the phllips stuff sooner. good luck!
Thank you for your comment. Has been almost 6 months for me now, but my body is still adjusting to not having a gallbladder. Digestion is good somedays, and somedays could be better. I cannot eat spicy foods as much as I used to, and dairy has been hit or miss too. A lot of people tell me that after a few years, your body will settle, and you will know how to deal with your body too. Lately metamucil has been helping me a lot. Stay strong!
@@davidindotnet845 thanks its been 5 weeks now for me.
Just been told I have a large Gallstone and require removal (Gallbladder). I have a pain in upper right back and have had a couple of nausea and confusion episodes. It was good to see your video as had always assumed you needed a special low fat diet after the op but you seem to living on a normal diet. Thanks for sharing
Going on a little past 3 months now....minor adjustments in my eating habits and bathroom habits are still slightly being made, but overall feel much better after my surgery. Eating a lot better now too....just can't eat as much as I used to, which might actually end up being a good thing? Stay strong!
My 25 yo son who has not had any surgical procedures previously, is at the two week post surgery mark. He has had zero pain, no pain medication and no issues with food .
Same here bro..😢
same here digesting at first was scary but it was in my mind u gotta know wht to eat an wht to stay away from … after removal the pain is not that bad im almost oh st 2 weeks post
so far no big issues that i’d been hearing about other people experiencing…. the lord is good 💚✨✨✨
Thank god the procedure went well.
Yes sir!!
Thank you so much. I just had mine done. It’s not easy.
It really isn't, people keep saying it is a minor surgery, but it's not. It's been slightly over a year for me now...and it was quite a roller coaster. Don't get me wrong, I do not regret my decision, and there are good sides to the surgery too. I really hope you recover fast!
@@davidindotnet845hi, I was diagnosed with gallstones 2 weeks ago. And the doctors have scheduled a laparoscopic cholecystectomy to remove my gallbladder. I'm reluctant to do so. I don't feel like living a normal life without a gallbladder even if the procedure was the best thing for me. My doctors told me that my gallbladder contains multiple stones...problems may arise...but tbh I'd rather take medicine than undergo surgery. I can't imagine what my life would be like after the surgery. That feeling is haunting my mind now.
u know what it really is not easy at all … why people say it’s minor i have the slightest idea why getn a inside body part took out ain’t minor it’s REAl life an then i had to have a drain bag afterwards for 7 days i think i’m still traumatized a little but i’m eating good a good appetite able to move around a lil … i do lose my breath sometimes but that’s about it
I’m getting it done soon ❤️
Hey David, love the video & thanks for the details. How is everything going now months out of the surgery. Everything still good? When can you start lifting at the gym?
It has been 6 months now...and my body is still adjusting to not having a gallbladder, but nonetheless, I feel a lot better than I did before the surgery. I think it was a good 2 months before I was able to go back to normal daily activities. In my opinion, I think a little longer would be good too. Although my incisions are completely healed, I still feel slight minor pain in certain areas. Thank you for your comment! Stay Strong!
How you doing year without your gallbladder? Any diarrhea, nutrient deficiency, bloating, fullness or unable to eat certain food, oh and weight gain/loss? Please update 🙏
Thanks, you are helping me prepare, to get rid of 3.7cm stone. God bless your future.
Oh wow! I am glad to hear that you found the 3.7cm stone before it caused more issues. I am going on a little more than 3 months now, and feel better than ever. I can't eat as much as I used to (Amount), but can eat a lot more foods without worrying about indigestion or feeling bad after. Minor adjustments are still being made, but definitely feel better now, than I did before my surgery. Stay strong!
How long did it take you to recover?
Make sure to report your reaction to the anesthesia - if you have another surgery. Anesthesiologist needs to know.
I'm scheduled to get my gb removed September 6th. Two weeks ago I had my first gb attack and went to ER. For the last two, Ive been having weird symptoms - heart palpitations that last for hours. Also have pain in my back.
You said you threw up after the surgery several times because of the anesthesia. Did they give you something to prevent you from throwing up? That what I dread the most.
Oh no, that sounds horrible. The throwing up wasn’t toooo bad….the nasty head aches i got like the 2nd and 3rd days were kind of bad. All in all though, even with the sudden bathroom attacks I have been getting here and there, I still feel a lot better than I did before surgery. Stay strong!
@@davidindotnet845 Thanks for replying
Am asking, how many test did you do before the surgery. Did you do liver test cholesterol test , CT scan, which test did they find the damage gallbladder in.
Sorry about the late reply, I have not been on youtube for a while. Aside from standard testing, even a ultrasound did not pick anything up. I took an actual Gallbladder test based on what my doc recommended, and that’s how I found out that my gallbladder was only functioning at like 6% or something like that. It has been almost 6 months now since I removed my gallbladder. For the most part everything is good, however I do get diarrhea here and there. I can’t pinpoint if a certain type of food is triggering it, or if it just comes and goes yet…..I do know if I eat a lot of milk, that will do it.
It's been 2 weeks since i got my endoscopic cholecystectomy, i have not had a single issue of any sort until now. I have eaten all kinds of veg food in the first week, i did not face any issue. But yes i have been a fitness person and i ate sensibly before, n i eat sensibly too now. I eat more fruits n vegetables now. I'm an eggetarian vegetarian.
That is awesome! Im glad to hear you have a smooth recovery! Seems like this affects everyone differently, one of my coworkers cant eat eggs anymore at all....i eat eggs daily =)
So you went back to eating the food that caused the problem in the first place…good advice.
That is actually a really good point lol....no but all jokes aside, we did cut out most fast foods, sodas.....not that easy to cut out red meat and coffee though....
Do you recommend fasting the first day or so in order to avoid diarrhea or indigestion?
I actually did the opposite. I ate little by little, took “Milk of Magnesia”, and walked was much as my can, all recommended by my Doc. I ate small portions of soup, rice, bread, jello…..and I cannot live without coffee, so had some weak iced coffee through out the day too.
Sir, i am 29 years old and i suffering from acidity and indigestion from2 years.. Recently i do USG and i have gald stone....what i do now Medicine or Sergery???
Wow, that is definitely a question for a doctor. I too had very bad acid reflux and indigestion. I did not have stones, i just had a gallbladder that was functioning at only 6%. With that being said, the people that I did speak to that had stones….some did mention that it could have easier if they did go to a doctor sooner….so i would definitely have a doctor check and tell you what you should do. Do a lot of research and get to a doctor who can really help. I had to see a few doctors and run multiple tests without finding anything, until I finally got to a doctor who ran what they call a HIDA scan…before that, other doctors ran other tests…including ultrasounds and said that I am perfectly fine. Stay Strong!
I’m at 2 weeks after surgery. Have you started exercising yet?
Sorry about the late reply, I have not been on youtube lately…..I actually forced myself to walk around the first week because my doc told me that I will recover faster this way. It was not easy though. I think I waited a good 2 months before I actually did more than walking. Hope your recovery is going well!
What were your symptoms?
I'm getting mine out april 17th after 1.5yrs and a couple Drs telling me take an antacid and you are stressed. I didn't get typical symptoms like pain after eating an extra greasy meal. Instead it's just this constant dull pain, indigestion, heartburn, burping, gas, diarrhea, nausea, bloating, full feeling, can't eat a lot at one time, just not feel8ng like myself, fatigue and it's just all the time. The surgeon doing it still isn't sure it's my gallbladder but he doesn't know what else it could be
Sorry to hear that….in my case I felt very minor pain on my right side for years, however it didnt really bother me too much so i left it alone. I knew it was time to do something when my bloating got so bad I couldnt even sit a certain way, and my clothes started fitting funny. Not to mention irregular bathroom patterns. Numerous tests found nothing, until they did whats called a Hida scan. Thats when they found out my gallbladder is only functioning at 6 percent. It has been 2.5 months now? And i feel great! I do get slightly bloated still if i dont watch what I eat, but I have never digested better, ever! Bathroom patterns are back to normal too. To give you one tip, get plenty of recovery time. My doctor recommended 4 days, i took 8….but i think i should have taken a little more. I still get minor pains here and there where the small incisions are.
@@davidindotnet845 Oh wow, I am glad you are doing okay.
My mother need to get her gallbladder removed too.
I also had same symptoms mine my gallbladder was at 6% .
My doc diagnosed my gall bladder wuth multiple 2-4 mm stones. Is removal of gall bladder necessary or is there any other therapy?
Wow, I am not a doctor so that is not something I can answer. However I do know that if a doctor does recommends a removal, it is better to do it before it ruptures. I know a few people whos Gallbladders ruptured, and was really dangerous. Stay Strong! And if you do end up getting it removed, there are a lot of people out there including myself that will gladly answer any questions you may have!
@@davidindotnet845 is laproscopic process painful?🥲
@@davidindotnet845 HI David my doctor suggested me to have my gall bladder removed as well but I don't see why he can't just remove the stones. This has been a serious decision for me but after reading all the reviews I don't eat my gall bladder removed for that organ is there for a reason. After watching another video from a doctor I think that if they just remove the stones instead if taking the entire organ out it is worth leaving it in! I believe this is just a faster way fir them to cut corners and just remove the entire gall bladder and I am nit ready to go through all the crap that I am reading from people who are really having a difficult time after their surgery. I threw up once but have a much harder time in the evening. Bloating, belching, and I am feeling so much better since I have been eating. Keeping a little food in my stomach. Is there any recommendations that you can share with .e.

It’s been 3 weeks and I am not completely recovered
3 months now for me…..i have my better days, and i have my not so goods, it feels like my body is trying to adjust to the change, however for me so far, more positive than not. Hope you recover soon!
What supplements are you taking now that you don't have a gallbladder I know gallbladder plays a role with many things
Funnily enough, I was perfectly fine until just recently. Don’t get me wrong I still feel a lot better than I did before the surgery, however I do get stomach issues here and there now. For me, I don’t think, or at least I cannot pin point a certain type of food that triggers it, but I do get diarrhea occasionally. Aside from my normal vitamins, I take probiotics. Lately I started taking Metamucil again once a day, and that hast been helping me a lot.
@@davidindotnet845 like bile salt supplements
Thank you for your response I haven't had the surgery yet in fact I am thinking about canceling the surgery!
@@BonitaLewis-ep4kohi, I'm due for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy in 2½ months. I'm thinking abt the same thing. I'm not happy with it😞
@@davidindotnet845how r u feeling now?
Beware. There can be long range effects. I had my GB out in 2018 and have been having serious problems with diarrhea in the last six months.
I actually did too…however Metamucil has helped me a lot…
You should get that checked out by dr. 6 months worth of diarrhea isn't good
Was it a robotic procedure?
Yes, that is what they call it, obviously guided by the doc. 4 incisions, not that big, and everything done through them.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Two weeks for me.
let's see the scars
Wow…first person who actually wants to lol……fast forward to 6:28 to see my scars….been almost a year now….doesnt look like the scars are ever going away…ty for watching
What's is your age sir
How many stone in your gb
I am early 40s....and I do not know how many stones. I had my gallbladder removed because after a HIDA scan, the doctors tole me that my gallbladder is not functioning, and if I did not remove it, I will have a dead organ in my body, and will have bigger issues.
There’s a good percentage of people who cannot go back to eating the fats after surgery because they have fatty liver or IBS or other underlying conditions. Life for us is a lot more challenging after cholesystectomy. So be careful of what you eat after cholesystectomy, triel and error…
I cannot agree with you more. I thought I was an exception initially, but I am slowly starting to learn that I am not..lol. I cannot eat spicy foods as much as I used to. Dairy has been hit or miss for me. Sometimes I am fine, sometimes I will go to the bathroom right away after dairy. Some days are better than others, but a lot of people have told me after a few years, you will get used to it and learn what works for you.
Try taking bile salts to disolve thr gall stones or to supplement the bile deficiency, getting your gall bladder removed is going to have consequences
There no bile salts at pharmacies?
They don't know the name even
You should've talked to a Hepatologist and got on Urosidol to break up stones...you didn't have to remove gallbladder
That takes years and has a low percentage of it working, plus the long-term side effects of taking the medication.
