"You have had your gallbladder removed. Why do you still have pain and gases?"
DEAR asked me that weeks ago and seriously I can't answer. The Dr never give me clear answer abt it. I knew his intension is good that he don't want to see me complaining that i'm in pain and suffer. The Dr can't help me much. I had to find my own effort to find out more info through internet.
“The most common problems, apart from actual pain are impaired digestion: bloating, gas, heartburn, constipation or diarrhea. You are already having trouble digesting fats. So why would removing the organ that regulates the metabolizer of fats improve your digestion? It may help with the pain, but know that 34% of people who have their gallbladder removed still experience some abdominal pain.”
And I am among the 34% of those patients still having those annoying symptoms. And 2 days ago, the pain is acute midnight and I do not know how to react to it. That is not the first attack but this is the most painful one after the operation. Tried my very best to fall asleep again but sleeping pill and pain killer don't work well this time. I knew that won't help much d. I fell down n hurt myself twice after the op but the Dr said that wont cause those acute pain. The root has to be seek. The truth need to be found.
“Abdominal pain, nausea, gas, bloating, and diarrhea are common following surgery.” Postcholecystectomy syndrome (after gallbladder removal syndrome) may include all of the above symptoms plus indigestion, nausea, vomiting and constant pain in the upper right abdomen. These are also gallbladder attack symptoms. Up to 40% of people who undergo gallbladder surgery will experience these symptoms for months or years after surgery. "
I asked myself how is this possible? Why I am the unfortunate one? The discomfort is horrible. I do not how to tell. I can't express it. I can't be pretending that I am ok. I felt sick to live with it.
"Functional biliary pain in the absence of gallstone disease is a definite entity and a challenge for clinicians." which is to say that at this point in time, they don't really know what to do with gallbladder problems that aren't related to gallstones and "Often, following cholecystectomy, biliary pain does not resolve..." which means after gallbladder surgery you may just be stuck with the pain. "

Why these irresponsible answers can be given by those specialists? I'm in pain n discomfort with those symptoms. I scare for more tests. I'm worry. Life seems to be tiring and lonely. And dealing with my office Guarantee Letter and seeking for 2nd opinion isn't easy as well as we do need to thought of those panel thing.
Truth is not easy to be known and digested. And frankly I am scare d as every single facts that i had to accept before and after op is disappointing and upset me a lot .....
