Experience with having gallbladder taken out shortly after having your little one? I found out about half way through my pregnancy that I had pregnancy related gall stones. I've had a few attacks since then, but the worst was this past Sunday. I ended up in L & D for almost 8 hours to be monitored. I was told that it will be coming out after he is born. I've never had any surgery of any kind never even an overnight stay in a hospital for anything and I'm scared to death!!!
Mine was infected (no stones) and removed at 19- easiest surgery I ever had. Within 2-3 days I was completely back to myself and if it's done laparoscopically it leaves very tiny incision marks about the size of a pinky nail.
I had mine removed 4 months after having my first daughter. I found out while I was pregnant with her. Surgery was a breeze and I feel 20x better! I'm able to poop everyday, no more attacks and I can eat whatever I want now!
My gallbladder was removed alone with a ton of stones after my son was born years ago. The doctor said he could fill a beanbag with the amount of stones that were in me. The surgery itself wasn't bad. It was a minimally invasive surgery done by laparoscopy. I have 2 tiny incisions near my abdomen. I recovered within a few days. Changed my eating habits drastically after that and lost a ton of weight.
Don't worry to much and best wishes.
Thanks everyone for the uplifting stories, hopefully everything goes good 🤞🤞
