The pain? Stupid Gall Bladder.

 Update: So I went back to the ER on Tuesday and they took labs and saw that my liver enzymes were crazy high... so they rushed me to the hospital that I had my RNY at and admitted me. Wednesday was surgery day and my surgeon said my gall bladder was filled with infection and grossness. So they removed that and I stayed at the hospital with anti-biotics until Thursday afternoon. Home now and in so much pain still... any hope for when I will start feeling better??

I'm sorry you feel so yucky! I would give it a week since with the added infection you may take longer to start getting your energy back. Take your pain meds and rest when needed. I do hope you feel better soon!

I had my gallbladder out a week after a bout of pancreatitis. The recovery was about 2 weeks for me, much worse than the RNY. Wasn't really feeling 100% for about 4 weeks. I think the infection and other issues make the recovery tougher. Just take it easy and take as much time off from work as you can. It will get better.

I had mine out in April.  it took about a week or so for the full pain to stop, then lessened after that but to this day, if I walk a lot, I still feel like I am having the pain I had before my removal. At least I am not in pain as I sit here and type this. 

I just had pain before removal when I WALKED.

Mine was enlarged, but not infected.  I did read, don't know how true, that it can take up to a year to completely heal - huh?  Mine is healed but just some pains here and there ONLY when I walk.
