Has anyone gotten their gallbladder taken out after giving birth?

Question

I had gallstones while pregnant with my son and haven’t had any gallstone attacks until last month. My son is 10 months old on Tuesday.. any advice on how the surgery went? I’ve never gotten surgery before and super scared 😢

Answer

Yes! About a month after I gave birth I started having horrible “chest” pains. After a few weeks of dealing with that on and off I asked my mom (who works in surgery) and she told me it was probably my gallbladder. Went to a general surgeon, got an ultrasound and sure enough I had gallstones. Since I’d literally just returned to work I had no PTO so I put off surgery until the end of the year. Flash forward to thanksgiving week and I landed in the hospital with pancreatitis because one of those stones got lodged in my bile duct. I was in the hospital for 3 days and had two surgeries. DO NOT PUT SURGERY OFF. You do not want to end up like I did. The pain was unbearable and I was really sick. You’ll be sore for a few days but you’ll bounce back quickly! Not to mention you will feel so much better! Gallbladder pain isn’t something I’d wish on my worst enemy.

Answer

Yep, had mine taken out three weeks PP!

Answer

You gave birth, Surgery is a breeze . As far as gall bladder, I've never had it removed, but its done laproscopic now so incisions are tiny.
