Post op gallbladder removal

When I woke up from deep anesthesia I was pissed, my throat had a terrible taste and I was in pain so much so I was cursing the pain. The first night was pretty painful and laying down was very difficult and rolling around was even worse. The day after surgery I spent sitting in my recliner and my shoulders and neck got terribly sore I guess from the gas they pumped my gutt with.

The following night I ended up with a lot of back and abdominal pain also from the gas. I just wanted to get some sleep, damnit.

Let me clear up a few other odds and ends. This type of surgery has a different level of anesthesia. Widom teeth, and GI scopes are the fun kind of anesthesia... This was not fun or like a dream at all.

Also, I'm still pretty dizzy and have been waking up with tremors at night.

Really sorry for your pain and hope you are not by yourself. My sister had gallbladder surgery several years ago, and a friend had a cancer surgery....both were very uncomfortable and could not find relief for several days. My friend's surgery required and inflation medium, and nothing could been done until it passed naturally. They both stayed with me. I'm glad they accepted my invitation, and I just left them have privacy, and made certain they had liquids and some soup. I wish you well soon.

Get well soon. Had the same surgery and it was uncomfortable, but the best way to heal is walking. Let us know your progress. Take care!

Finally sleep well last night and I might just have my first poop since surgery. Can't wait!
