So glad it went well! The best thing I found for shoulder pain was chewing gum which is so weird but it helps with releasing gas XxSurgery went well , little bit tender but the shoulder pain is in agony
Got my date for surgery in the next few weeks... Has anyone any advice for going into hospital / after the op?
After the op keep on top of the medication for the first few days, take it easy and it's actually so grand
Thank you so much, a bit nervous but looking forward to getting it done!After the op keep on top of the medication for the first few days, take it easy and it's actually so grand
I was the exact same. I'm two and a half weeks post op. For me recovery has been great was sore for 2/3 days but honestly so grand . The pain of the gallstones/pancreatitis was 10 times worse so if you've had those you'll walk surgery.
Does anyone have Gallbladder polyps? Have a large one and been recommended surgery to take my Gallbladder out.
I have a few, which were discovered on scans when I got pancreatitis, but the consultants decided they weren't the cause and have left them alone. 2 years on, no further issues from them thankfully. But if they're causing you problems, get the op - trust me, you really, really do not want to get acute pancreatitis!
I second the not wanting to get pancreatitis, I was in hospital a week and it was the worst week of my life...a family member was in hospital two weeks with it. It's rough , the surgery is grand you probably be in and out the same day
Knocks you sideways, doesn't it? I went from being someone who was happily lugging 2 x 20 litre full water cannisters down a field on a daily basis to someone who, when they finally unplugged me from enough lines to let me get out of bed, had to use a zimmer frame to manage even a few steps. I was in hospital for 3 weeks, including a stint in the high dependency unit, and it was three or four months before I felt remotely close to normal again. And the pain is just indescribable.
I don't have any problems, they were found incidentally but it's sitting at 9mm so they are concerned as once it gets closed to 10mm it's within the cancer margins I believe? It was 9mm a year ago so I am freaking out thinking they will have turned to cancer, any ideas to calm me down?
It's statistically unlikely, if that's any comfort. According to this page on the Royal Free London website, about 1 in 20 gallstone polyps are 'true' polyps, or small tumours, but they're usually benign. If you have it taken out then they'll be able to test your gallbladder for any cancerous cells and you'll either get reassurance all is okay, or if they do find something it'll likely be in the very early stages and they should be able to mop everything up with treatment.

Absolutely and I was 6m postpartum and I can definitely say this was ten times worse. It's been 3 months post op and I'm still not right so I'm glad to hear it's ok that I'm not feeling myself. I'm mad to go back to the gym but I just don't have the energy
Don't push yourself - your body has been through a really tough battle. If you're on Facebook, there's a very good UK group on there called Pancreatitis UK Support Group, they're great at giving support and answering questions.
Hi all, what’s the longest any of you have gone without a attack?
I don’t want to jinx myself but since my first Attack last September, this is the longest I’ve gone. I think my last attack was around feb/March. Is this normal?
I’ve been properly diagnosed after various scans etc.

Thank you, that's helpful. I just worry because they've been left over a year that the polyp has grown a significant amount. Just scary when we never know what's going on in our bodies really until they are scanned. Surely I would have a lot of symptoms though if it was anything to be worried about....so I'm telling myself anyway! You can tell I am nervous!It's statistically unlikely, if that's any comfort.
