I had my gallbladder out in May and, ever since, I haven't felt 'well'. I feel queasy most of the time and still get a dull ache where my gallbladder was (nothing like the pain from gallstones thankfully).
I saw the doctor today and I've been referred for an endoscopy to find out why I feel sick all the time. Thankfully it's not urgent as I won't be able to have it done until November as I've got holiday and courses coming up at work. Has anyone got any positive endoscopy stories to share with me?
One other question, I'm taking Lansoperazole - has anyone found it causes nausea? I've seen that it's one of the side effects but everyone I know who is on it has no problems. When my GP prescribed it she told me to come off it after a while, which I did, but I had indigestion. That was a while ago though so I'm wondering whether to try coming off it again to see if things are settling.
I was also told that the 'phantom gallbladder' is most likely scar tissue and will probably never go away.
I know I needed to have my gallbladder out (I had pancreatitis and an inflamed gallbladder) but I didn't expect any of this
Sorry for the long rambling post.
