My doctor told my parents to remove my gall bladder when I was 12 years old to prevent problems.

thanks for the replies... I guess it is all on my head because I wasn't sent home from the hospital and they said nothing was wrong again.

It's not a bad surgery at all....the first night a little discomfort, but that's it. After that you may be really really gas-e! But because of sickle cell our bodies react different....so you may go through a little crisis, due to anesthesia. I just had outpatient fibroid surgery and woke up in a crisis.

No. But after several strong bouts of right side abdominal pain (during my twenties), it was determined that I needed my gallbladder removed, after which I did. Amazing, what a difference it made once it was removed.

I had my gallbladder taken out when I was 17. The symptoms I experienced were not similar to what you described. Whenever I ate or drank anything acidic I would have INTENSE chest pain that lasted for about 20min then would go away. Once my doctor figured out what was causing the pain, I modified my diet until I had the surgery about a month or two later.

The recovery time for me was relatively short. There was pain, once the surgery was over, but when I went home the next day, it was pretty much activity as tolerated. I didn't follow the guideline of recommended foods to eat. When I returned home after my surgery I was hungry. The only thing in the fridge was spicy fried rice so I ate. I didn't have any problems and haven't since. That was 13 years ago.

Ooh dear. So sorry to hear that. I haven't had to experience that and neither have I seen any one go through the same. Am going to pray for you and I will talk to any one that can listen to me to pray for you. You will be fine in Jesus name.
