Anyone else with gallbladder issues??

Question

This gallbladder is about to be the death of me. No red meat, no dairy, low fat, no fried or fatty foods. So hard to do especially when you crave certain things during pregnancy. Anyone else going through the same thing or anyone have any advice as to what I can do about this never ending sweet tooth???

Answer

I am 26 weeks pregnant and had my gallbladder removed last week. They said it was almost completely rotten and had multiple gallstones. My surgeon said if I had not had the surgery I would have been risking my baby because of the infection. The attacks I was having landed me in the hospital twice in unbearable pain. I was very nervous about the surgery but it went well, I stayed a total of 4 days, they monitored baby and me very well. I went in for an ultrasound today to check baby and everything looks great! You can check into gallbladder flushes? Hopefully your change in diet helps keep your pain under control as well!

Answer

I'm 28 weeks pregnant and I had my gallbladder removed last Friday. The pain was unbearable! I had gallstones, which were blocking my bile duct, which ultimately infected my gallbladder. It can be very dangerous for your little one. It's been tough, but I'm home recovering and getting stronger everyday. The surgery alone was only about 20 mins! But they kept me overnight to monitor my baby and she seems perfectly fine! Moving like crazy!! I trusted my surgeon knew the right thing for me =)

Answer

I had my gallbladder removed back in January but it's left me unable to consume any dairy. But that's the only trouble I've had since having it out. Although I was informed by doctors and nurses that gallbladder pain is actually worse than the pain of childbirth!

Answer

My friend is due in Aptil with her baby and just had hers removed.

Answer

I just posted about it a few hours ago. I have had 2 attacks so far and without the diet I have this constant stabbing pain in my ribs and mid back. I tried the low fat diet but now its getting tough to fight my cravings. My surgeon wants to remove the gall bladder but I am not sure if I want to have surgery now. Just cant make up my mind. I wish I had some advice for you. I guess low fat bland diet is the only option. I am 28 weeks now.
