Vomiting blood after gallbladder surgery
Common Questions and Answers about Vomiting blood after gallbladder surgery
vomiting
This could be an unfortunate repeat of what you suffered after the gallbladder surgery. You need to find out if your liver and pancreatic enzyme levels are normal or elevated, and you may want to request an MRCP to start. And have the bleeding checked out.
Basically my gallbladder wasn’t functioning properly. For almost a year after my surgery, I had nothing but problems. I lost a lot of weight, was having awful diarrhea & vomiting all the time. It seemed to get better. But now I’m having the same problems again. I have pain that feels like gallbladder attacks, yellow or pale colored diarrhea not long after meals, & occasional vomiting.
hi my name is maryjane, i had my gallbladder removed jul 2009, a week or so after surgery started to get a tightness of pain in my stomach which has gradually got more severe, it starts of with stomach pain then wakes me through the night and is like a tightnin of severe pain at the top of my rib cage sometimes to my back, lying down makes the pain worse, i need to walk about and take deep breathes to ease the pain, sometimes up all night, can affect me 2 to 3 nights.
I had both my gallbladder and appendix removed November 19th 2015. Since the surgery I have had nothing but problems. Unbearable excruciating pain, nausea, vomiting and bouts of diarrhea. The bouts of diarrhea occur at least three to four times per week. Before I had the surgery I weighed approximately 125lbs (give or take). With the constant nausea, vomiting and bouts of diarrhea I've been losing weight like crazy.
OMG. I'm feeling the same way. Mine was out on the 12th and I'm still experiencing problems. It is nice to know I'm not alone, although I wouldn't wish this on anyone!
From what I gather, our digestive system is still trying to adjust to not having a gallbladder. Some people don't have any problems after surgery, some do. We are the unlucky ones that have problems. A big problem is your body trying to digest fat, since that is what the gallbladder helps with.
I'm having gallbladder surgery tomorrow they said my gallbladder is not working and that baby isn't getting no nutrition or nothing and that's way i do half of my nausea and vomiting comes from... So anybody else had that surgery done before while pregnant or not?
my 18 year old daughter had gallbladder removal 2 months ago due to bile build up. gallbladder was functioning at 15% from a hidascan test. 2 weeks after surgery she had increasing upper stomach pain for 2 days, then vomited bile and felt great. this has continued every 2 weeks since. her surgery said this can be normal after surgery and should decrease in time and gave her a prescription of questran light powder (to bind with the bile) and prilosec daily.
It is a known side effect in some people from general anaesthesia. The stomach is designed to get rid of anything it considers a foreign invader, and the gases used in anaesthesia certainly are. It can also be a sign of many other things, including constipation. Constipation is a very common thing in UK hospitals, probably because of the terrible food :) It would be easier to chew a meteorite than one of their baked potatoes.
Following a mild case of shingles - taking antiviral and Lyrica meds, I ended up in the ER with nausea, loose bowels, feeling like vomiting and pain in my right ribcage area The dignosis was a diseased gallbladder. It has been three weeks since my surgery. All is well except for the tenderness - achiness in my right ribcage. I am taking Tylenol as needed. This discomfort occurs periodically. My question is whether this is coming from the shingles or from the gallbladder surgery.
Your appendix is located down there.... but yes nausea is definitely a symptom of gallbladder issues, do you have pain after meals etc? Nausea is a symptom of many problems, for me my gallbladder pain was under my right ribs and into my back and shoulder, with horrible nausea and vomiting. Could also be other GI issues. Have you been to the doctor for any tests yet?
Upper rigt abdominal pain speaks for gallbladder or bile duct disease. If it is gallbladder, pain would be worse after a fatty meal. If it is biliary tree, pain could be more constant. "Biliary dyskinesia" and "sphincter of Oddi dysfunction" can't be detected ba ultrasound or CT. I believe, your first investigation should be HIDA scan, which shows function of gallbladder and bile ducts.
Today was my follow up with my GI, my hida scan resulted in no gallbladder visualization after 4 hr which suggests cystic duct obstruction/ acute cholecystitis.
Dr referred me to cholecystectomy/ gallbladder surgeon for consult.
They also ordered blood work to rule out Hepatitis due to high liver enzymes and a breath test to ensure the H Pylori is out of my stomach.
It is possible to see reflux symptoms increase following gallbladder surgery. Although this is documented in the literature, I have seen quite the opposite however. I do see what I believe to be alkaline reflux from the duodenum into the stomach is the early post op period. PPI's such as omeprazole can actually worsen this rather than improving it with sucralfate being a much better option as it coats the inflamed stomach and lets it recover.
On April 10, 2008 I had my gallbladder removed. For three weeks after that I suffered from pain, diarrhea, nausea, fever, chills, vomiting and either no appetite or after eating 3 to 4 bites of food I would get full. The surgeon who performed my surgery finally had me admitted to the hospital for tests and it was determined that my colon was inflammed and I had colitis as well as c-diff.
He has suffered stomach problems for a few years now. He was vomiting bile before the surgery. Over the years he has been to several Drs and had many tests run. Endoscopy, MRI, gastro emptying study, hida scan and others... None of these tests showed anything abnormal except for the hida scan, it came back at 9% so they removed his gall bladder. He has had constant nausea, constipation and pain all over his stomach for a few years now.
2) Removing the gallbladder should not have any long term digestive problems. There are some cases of diarrhea after surgery, but the majority of patients are without long-term effects post procedure.
3) If there are no stones, the chances of a gallbladder attack are less likely. However, there is no guarantee that you will be symptom free during this period.
4) I am not aware of a low gallbladder ejection fraction being associated with cancer.
m a 42-year-old woman who, about two years ago, I developed gallbladder-type pain and other symptoms. After having my gallbladder removed and another surgery called a sphincterotomy, I've learned that there are many things that can cause these symptoms including Post-Cholecystectomy Syndrome, Sphincter of Oddi Dysfunction and Pancreatitis, among other things.

m not sure if the passing out and migraines are related to my stomach issues, but I was puking so much that I was hospitalized with dehydration and malnutrition, and my teeth turned yellow and the enamel has worn away. After a month of blood tests, CT scans, xrays, colonoscopies, endoscopies, and just about anything else you can think of, a doctor finally thought that it may be my gallbladder.
After the initial pain of surgery subsided.she began having daily nausea and occasional vomiting. Now,3 months post-op, she has constant nausea and vomits
usually dark yellow ro brownish liquid, sometimes very thick like mucous, once or twice a day. This is not related to mealtime. At first after the op she had a lot of diarea but that has mostly b een replaced by constipation. She is
67 and has occasional bouts of heart failure,no heart attacks or diabetes.
Dumping syndrome is when you have constant diarrheah
I was not in alot of pain after the surgery...I only took the pain pills for 24hrs and stopped on my surgeons directions... I always have bad reaction from anesethtic so made me really sick and got dehydrated, and vomited alot...thats why took me 10 days to get better as it wasnt until 4 days later i met up with my surgeon in the ER to get IV fluids. After that i was on the road to recovery...
My daughter who is 23 and has had her gallbladder out almost 3 yrs ago tongue turned black after vomiting this evening.

It has been almost a year since my gallbladder surgery. Prior to the surgery I had pain that did not fit neatly into the diagnosis of a gallbladder problem. My ultrasound did show one small stone, however the pain did not come and go. I had the surgery, then continued to get worse! It has been a year now. I have had an upper and lower GI. Upper showed that I have upper Hiatus hernia, lower showed that I was completely healthy and normal.
