Why am I so unwell after Gall bladder removal? I did not have stones but a gall bladder that was not pumping. I am now suffering from nausea ,and if I don t have that I have the runs. It feels sore and tender inside like it was just operated on. Feel like crap most of the time. I have also had a stool test done which showed very low in digestive enzymes. My operation was 14/8/2014. Many Thanks
Hi.noted recent gallbladder surgery and post-operative nausea. Recovery after surgery is different from one case to another, depending on the pre-operative condition/co-morbidities. Are you eating well? Even those who has been operated on several years back, could occasionally experience pain/discomfort on the operative site, but tolerable in character and resolving spontaneously. It is best if you do a follow-up consult with your surgeon for physical examination and clinical evaluation. Diagnostics (such as scout film of the abdomen, ultrasound, electrolytes, etc.) and management will be directed accordingly. Hope this helps. Good day!! ~ Chat Doctor.
