Hi,I am Dr. Subhankar Chakraborty (Gastroenterologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Are The Precautions To Be Taken Post Gall Bladder Removal?
I had my gallbladder out several years ago. Have been back in the hospital several times having stones removed. Been 5 years since last eposide and had an attack yesterday. The medicine I take is Ursodiol 300mg. The doctors said there are people that have recurring stones for rest of their life. Question: Is there anything better than what I am taking also are there certain foods I should avoid.
You should probably have a repeat ultrasound with liver function test. If the operation was done more than 5 years ago and if it was done laparoscopic, there is a chance that a stone might form around the clip used for securing the cystic duct.The LFT will help narrow down the diagnosis too. Yeah some patients do complain of symptoms similar to their pre operative symptoms known as post cholecystectomy syndrome. What you are taking now should help. Avoid oily food. Hope you get better.
