Cholecystectomy, anyone???

Hi Sisters!

I haven't posted for a while, but I'm back!

I am about 14 weeks post LAVH and had to go back to the castle last week to have my gallbladder removed after I spent two nights there searching for the source of my pain. I am just wondering if any of you have had to have your gallbladder removed so soon after hysterectomy, and if so, how long it took you to feel like yourself again. I still wasn't feeling completely recovered from the hysterectomy, so I am just assuming that my body is going to take a while to bounce back from this double whammy.

I am seeing my surgeon (gallbladder) tomorrow morning so maybe he will have an opinion, but any opinions from my sisters would be appreciated!

I hope you are all doing well.

P.S. I thought I had swelly belly before...now I look (and feel) like I swallowed a bowling ball!!!

I had my gallbladder out 7 years ago and was back at work within 2 weeks. That was much easier to recover from than this. My TAH w/R ovary & tube removed and bladder tack was 3-1/2 weeks ago (May 9).

Sorry you're having to go through it all at the same time. Just take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest.

Hi there. I had a TAH in October and my gallbladder removed in Dec, all of 2004! The gallbladder was a breeze to me, compared to the TAH! I was up and feeling better in no time!!

Hope you feel better soon!
