STOMACH BLOATING AFTER CHOLECYSTECTOMY
After my cholecystectomy three weeks ago, I still feel bloated sometimes but not as bloated as before when I still have my gall bladder. I had undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy after I was diagnosed with cholelithiases and chronic cholecystitis. It was difficult for me because my gall bladder was inflamed for too long and it’s what makes me bloated a lot and the pain was intolerable at times because of the gall stones on my gall bladder.
It was easy for me to decide to undergo surgery because I can’t tolerate the pain anymore. After surgery, I was happy because I no longer feel the intolerable pain on my stomach after eating meals. I was told to stay away from fatty foods since I no longer have the gallbladder that helps digest fatty foods. Sometimes when I eat foods that have fats on it, it makes my stomach bloated and uneasy but it was not painful. So I really try as much as possible to not eat foods that have high fat content on it.
I heard that some people who have undergone laparascopic cholecystectomy have complains about feeling the same pain that they previously felt before they had their gall bladder out and some even have bile leak. I was never informed by my doctor about these possibilities so I read a lot about these problems after surgery. It’s really best to stay informed specially when there is a possibility that I’ll encounter these problems in the future. But as far as I’m concerned, I just feel a little bloated sometimes but nothing painful and I’m thankful for that.
We can live without a gallbladder but we’ll have problem with digestion since the organ helps in digestion and without it, bile continuous to flow in the liver into the small intestines and this can cause discomfort. What we need to do is decrease our intake of fats and we should eat smaller meals evenly spaced everyday and there is one thing that can help improve our digestion and it decrease the bloating that we experience after taking meals. We need to take daily probiotic supplement…
