Gallbladder out - Constipation.....(TMI)
GONE!!!! 
Thought this would be the best thing ever!! NOT SO MUCH!!!!
I am no longer constipated, which is great but now...
Every time I have to go, I get a horrible stomach ache. My whole insides just gurgle and rumble and gurgle and I have insane diarrhea!! It feels terrible.
It's great to not have to struggle anymore or take evasive action to make myself go after a week.... BUT --- will this be how I am going to
forever now???
Anyone else experience this??
Thanks ~Jamie~

I never had that after having my gall bladder removed. I think you might want to call your doc in the morning and ask if it's normal and how long it should last and if there is anything you can do about it. I don't think this should be how it is forever, no.

I'm still preop for my RNY but I had my gallbladder out back in May and it took about 6 weeks for my gut to settle down into a "routine". I thought I would never get back to normal but things did calm down.
Hope that it turns out to be nothing serious for you!

Thanks Kelly and Michelle.
*Kelly - I didnt think it seemed normal either. And I had my gallbladder out on Sept 22. These symptoms have been goin on now for only about a month and a half or so - I just assumed that this was what it's from. Maybe it's not related at all????? Hmmm... Now I just don't know.

It's possible it's not related, I don't know. I think you need to talk to your doc. A month and a half is a long time to deal with that.

I had my gall bladder out 8 years ago. It still happens to me - it has gotten better since surgery, but bouts of diarrhea are inevitable with me. It happens more so after eating though - if you watch, you might realize triggers - coffee is a trigger for me, eating hot meals also is a trigger, and within an hour of eating, I will be in the bathroom.
Like I said, for me, since surgery, it has lessened, but still happens...
