Well---today is day 10 after my surgery---I feel like I have healed from the surgical wounds and feel my energy is back but am still feeling some nausea and am having diahrrea once a day---also, I have what I guess is heartburn in my throat---no pain though---I go back to my surgeon tomorrow but just wanted to ask all of you if you think this is normal----I don't think the nausea is as bad as before the surgery---also no pain between shoulder blades and very little belching----just frustration and some fear about never being normal again----trying to visualize being perfectly well and praying.....

Maybe the heartburn feeling is acid reflux ... that can cause a horrible feeling in your throat.
Glad you are recovering well. It all takes time, so just take it easy.

Thanks for the encouragement, Tori....went to my doctor today (surgeon) and he said I need more time---some people do get nausea for awhile after surgery---he wants me to get on prilisec and see my gastro doctor next week---so I am trying to think positively and expect to get back to normal---it just feels so scary sometimes---did you suffer with nausea after your surgery?

hi lillye, i had a bit of nausea before my gall bladder was removed and now, 12ish years later i do think i remember having a bit in the weeks after. i can tell how much you want relief and what i want to say is: please be patient with your body and yourself. you had a major surgery and your body needs time to readjust. absolutely keep thinking positively because we all know the mind/body connection but please don't put pressure on yourself now. give it time and take care.
