    YOu know, I watched and read so much horror stories, along with good stories too. You made me realize something, since I am having surgery in two days: People with good attitude recover better. it is not that there is less drama because there is less pain, but there is less pain because you are positive naturally. You've made me feel so calmed about it. Thank you, really for your video and for being so lovely.

      I'm just out of mine this morning, came home, no side effects from anesthesia at all; but I have a lot of pain right now though, looking forward for my pain killer. But I tolerated pretty pretty good the chicken broth they game me a the clinic.
      How are you recovering??
      I hope you be feeling a lot better every day that passes. Keep it up! Blessings.

    I just had my gallbladder removal surgery 5 days ago. The first two days are the hardest. I'll say I really didn't feel a lot of pain because I stayed on top of my pain medication. I was just really sore. You will not feel any internal pain. Well at least I didn't feel any. Just pain and soreness on the incision area. The recovery is really fast. Day 5 and I feel good! After day 4 I no longer needed my pain medication. Just walk and move around every two hours..you will heal a lot faster.

  • @henrycruz45cal

    I'm 2.5 weeks past my surgery and my incisions look just like yours (I have a big one on top too. But I also have one in my belly button.
    I had to stay in the hospital a couple of days after cause I had what is called gangrenous gallbladder, yes, I had gangrene, my bladder was DEAD. That my dear didn't feel good at all.
    We survived!

      Had mine done recently and it was inflamed and infected. They put a 100mm drain inside on the right, and the pain from the belly button was something else. I didn't even know that my throat was sore until 5 days later, when the other pains were reducing. I would never recommend any one get this surgery. Do a drastic change of your diet instead.

    I'm so proud of you and grateful for telling us your story. Very Good information but ill suggest you don't eat what causes the gallstone in the first place meaning change your diet so that u don't have any future problem again ... just a suggestion I'm so proud of you though . u don't even want to know the hope you've given me right now. my gallstone experience started at 2 am in the morning on 20/12/016, I have been to the A&E for GALLSTONE ATTACK LIKE 5 TIMES now, Man, the pain was so astronomically painful geez. As for my gallstone issue, I caused it. I was overweight 120kg so I went on a juice diet and I dropped to 83kg in 42 days meaning I lost weight too fast . prior to me losing weight I did so much research, unfortunately, I didn't come across any red flags about losing WEIGHT too fast causes gallstone .. Until I was in pain, that's when I found out that my cystic duct was blocked when I overeat or eat the wrong combination of food like Pringles and chocolate, rice at the same time, once u do that, you're in trouble . I don't have the attack like I use to now because I'm watching what I eat and I don't overeat anymore .but I did that yesterday though, I had a bread wrap ketchup and a wafer-thin roasted chicken, bang! the stone came rushing into my cystic duct again but this time the pain was like 45% .. from my observation, I think this happen Most time when we eat the wrong food and overeating that brings about the pain and eating process food all sorts .I'm from west Africa, Nigerian to be precise, I'm aware that I am supposed to be careful with western food, but I didn't listen because gallstone is very common with the western world from the research that has done due to the consumption of process . I currently live in the UK hence I dabbled in western food. Right now, I feel like I can control my gallbladder if I mind what I eat but if I slip, then I will consequently get gallstone attack which happened yesterday. Right now, I can feel the stone pain reducing now from yesterday as I type. I believe it's slipping back from my cystic duct to my gallbladder. I do have a surgery pending but I have been putting it off so scared but you've given me some level of hope from your experience thank you.

    Amen. The post op pain was 5 days for me. And I was held over at the hospital for 2 days. I was getting Morphine thru my IV. truth be known they had a hard time removing my gall bladder. Couldn't eat or sleep. After I finally got to feeling better I ate a very small jello. Boom. I was running for the bathroom. I am so relieved that I was that close to my restroom. Nausea was horrible before and after my surgery. My Dr checked me for first post op visit and explained that they found growths over my adrenal glands that are on top of my kidneys. So now I'm faced with this.

    I’ve never had digestive issues, never had gallbladder attacks, none of these issues run in my family. One day I ate at hooters and got the worst food poisoning I’ve ever had in my 25 years of life...I ended up with Salmonella and due to that, 8 months later I had to have this done. When they went in, my gallbladder was shriveled up like a raisin. They said it was operating at 0% when they did my HIDA scan.... guys I went from operating just fine to a dead gallbladder. We need to be more cautious of the stuff we eat 100%. I’ll never trust anyone fully to cook my food unless I see them prepare it and can monitor the temperatures at which it’s cooking. I’ll also never eat dairy or gluten or processed junk or sugar again lol half because it makes me feel sick to my stomach now and half because I don’t ever want my body to be as compromised as it was when it overloaded my gallbladder. I’m only eating healthy things so that if I get sick like that ever again then my body will be able to bounce back and fight it off. We only have one body and so many organs guys so please be careful with them.

This is the part that freaks me out!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
