None of them knew anything about breastfeeding and pain relief we had to ring a midwife to come over luckily my nana used to work on maternity so she rang her friend who came over the same day xx

I was given codeine so couldn't feed her for 24 hours and she had to have formula I had a big red sticker on my notes informing doctors not to give me codeine and they did, I was on oramorph aswell which I know is safe to take I had to express and throw the milk away I was gutted xx

It's scary how uneducated many people in the medical field is about breastfeeding :( I was breastfeeding when I had my gallbladder removed too :(

There's a Facebook page called The Breastfeeding Network Drugs in Breastmilk Information Service. You can private message them them and ask about the painkillers you've been given, how much you can take, anything else you can take, etc. They are really good and respond quickly!

Glad you're ok, try to rest as much as you can now. I know it's easier said than done xxx

Thanks girls the surgery went well only just come home not had the best few days but I've had it done and that's the main thing in a lot of pain but nothing I can't handle, on minimal pain relief as breastfeeding and none of the doctors seemed to have a clue what was safe or not?

Thanks girls! Xxxx

I had mine out 3 months after i gave birth suffered attacks during my pregnancy was awful but the pain in my shoulders after the surgery was the worst part and the stitches i was scared to laugh but other then that its ok how did it go ??

You'll be fine! I had a bit of pain (like wind) for a couple of hours after the op but was fine after that. It's definitely worth it! Good luck!xx

I had my gallbladder out when my eldest was 16 weeks old, got gallstones when I was pregnant with him then had a really bad flare up and went yellow so had to have it removed. I felt so much better for it and moved house the next day lol! Just take it easy, avoid fatty food as it'll more than likely give you diarrhoea or make you sick. Hope all went well xx

Good luck!

I've had it done and I'm so happy I did it - life changing after a year of horrible gallbladder pain :)

It's not too bad, I had pains in my right shoulder for two days after - keep taking the painkillers. But I also had an inflamed gallbladder, so I don't know if that made it worse. After those two days, I felt lots better and a week later I was pretty much back to normal. Never had any issues since x

Ha yeah I lost a lot of weight!hope all went well xx

Hope it's gone OK hun! Xx

Thanks Amy, hoping they get me in this morning! Xx

Okay that's made me feel abit better I suppose any short term pain is better than the pain I'm in 24/7! And Chelsea yeah I've been given a long list of dos and don't regarding food looks like I'm eating like a rabbit for the next few weeks anyway plus side I might lose abit of weight??xx

I had mine out on my 21st birthday ?? it's fine to be honest..might be abit sore but it's nowt bad!Just abit tender where I had the incisions x

Oh also after the actual surgery keep a low fat diet won't you!cos that's another story!x

I've had mine out, was totally fine! Childbirth is much worse imho, you're generally awake for all of that haha For the surgery, I was wheeled into theatre and a lovely anaesthetist gave me a marvellous injection of something very strong in the back of my hand. That was the last I knew about it until I woke up in recovery. As long as you take it easy for a bit and keep on top of the painkillers you'll be grand. Much better than the pain of gallstones ? good luck tomorrow xx

No experience - good luck xx

Yeah my surgeon said that I might have abit of trouble with trapped wind so my oh is gonna get some on the way up to the hospital tomorrow! Xx

I haven't but my friend has and she had bad trapped wind after so peppermint tea might be worth getting. The day she got home I helped her wash but after that she was fine xx

Yeah that's what I keep telling myself! I can't wait to be pain free!! Took long enough so I suppose I'll have to suck it up?xx

I've had 4 sections and I found having my gallbladder out more painful lol but what a relief when it's gone you will be fine Hun you've had babies so probably not as bad you will be so glad you did it and it's a really quick recovery of you look after yourself x

Good luck! Just remember the mega painful attacks that you'll be free of, gotta be worth it xx
