Cholecystitis affects what part of the human body?

When my daughter was 1 yr old, in 1985, I was having acute stomach and back pain. I was told I had 2 gallstones in bile duct, and needed immediate surgery on a Monday, I was in Army Reserves and asked doctor to postpone surgery until after my weekend drill. I made it to Thursday, when the bile duct ruptured. I was very I'll, had infection just like when your appendix bursts. Opened me up all across stomach, 9 days in hospital. What did I learn? Heed doctor when he states. it's an emergency.

Player #3620817, you can have your gallbladder removed through keyhole surgery now. They don’t cut you open, instead they make tiny insertions into the area for the necessary surgical tools. Each tiny hole needs only 1 or 2 stitches. It’s much safer to have the op done this way. My husband had it done like that. It’s very quick and you’re back at work within days. 🤗

AWESOME GAME

I keep winning all these tiles: however I am not able to see how they work.

penawareof, if you think that then you need to be on a very low fat diet. When you eat anything with a medium to high fat content your gallbladder will start to pump bile to break down the fat. It’s this that makes you ill and in pain. If you stick to a 3% fat intake with all your food then you can live pain free. The only worry is if the gallstone moves and blocks the tube to the pancreas, then you will have pancreatitis and that COULD put you on life support. I only know all this through personal experience.

FamousWanderer404, I also had my removed young in early 20's, which is unusual so do tors don't think it's gallbladder issues. I had mine removed, but then then the bile duct leaked into my abdomen. Excruciating pain where I actually screamed. Keep advocating for yourself! Drs don't know everything.

CrunchyDonut28347, I'm glad you are doing ok.One veteran to another veteran thank you for service. I'm having surgery 28 April to reserve my ilsecomy bag

CrunchyDonut28347, I had the thing removed. My Dr. said the was the worst one that he ever saw. surgery on Tuesday Military sent my hubby home to care for me and our young children. 4 days later his appendix burst

CrunchyDonut28347, You would have been becoming septic - Sepsis throughout your body (blood infection) and it is fatal if left untreated.

Mine was removed because I had severe abdominal and back pain. Had the testing done and I had no stones but mine was full of sludge. It would not drain.

Cazcraz99, Unless the surgeon makes a mistake. The VA operated on my husband and a vein to one side of his liver was accidentally cut, causing most of one side of his liver to lose function. The problem was not adequately handled even afterward. Eventually abscesses formed in that side of his liver and caused sepsis. He almost died and permanent disability resulted. Surgery is surgery no matter what.

I lost a lot of weight and had to get the gall bladder removed by surgery.

that was my luck

if the answers are three the 50/50 hint is disabled.

Cazcraz99, this is what I have. no gallbladder and no cicatrice. excellent procedure

The first time I had an attack I didn’t know what is was. The pain kept getting more intense and after showing no signs of subsiding after more than an hour, I finally went to the hospital. I would have to keep doing this over the next year or so, since morphine was the only thing that had any effect on the pain. An ultrasound confirmed that it was my gallbladder, and I discussed my options with my doctor. I tried watching what I ate and modifying my diet, but I would get episodes and attacks no matter what, seemingly unpredictably. I lived in fear, never knowing when the next onset of unrelenting pain would occur, but knowing it likely would, eventually. I decided that the only permanent and best solution for me was to have the surgery. It was performed laparoscopically, leaving three relatively small scars. I experienced some pain soon after healing that made me think it had been unsuccessful, but after some time that stopped. I’ve since never had to deal with that pain again. I eat whatever I want (although I’ve recently stopped eating meat), and don’t have to worry about having another gallstone attack ever again! Having my gallbladder removed ended up being the right decision for me. It was presented as a last resort solution [as it should be], but it was the only thing that worked for me. Several years later, no regrets. :)

tried the 50/50 option wasnt available

Rock Steady, God bless you and hope your surgery goes well.

When I had mine out, (I have an 8in scar) they found 64 stones. They gave me some to bring home. It was the worst pain ever, worse than childbirth and toochache.

Cazcraz99, I had 5 holes and they weren't tiny, the surgeon said my gallbladder was oversized! 😆

Cazcraz99, Agreed! had mine taken out a year and a half ago!

I should have known this, having had cholestasis when pregnant.

The organ is the liver

I had this and had my gall bladder removed, I had the symtoms for a year the vomiting was very bad and the pain just like tooth ache

I am a nurse and used to specialize in endoscopic surgical nursing.. gall bladder surgery is ROUGH.. be forewarned..

My gallstone is the size of a pigeons egg (I'm sure most off us have kept them) Sadly my diet didn't change, so now in pain and await ultrasound to ascertain where all that calcified cement has formed 🤢

Cazcraz99, Actually, it's a high carb diet that causes biliary colic, etc. That's when I get it. My normal diet is high fat/low carb, I have no problems. Eat pizza, then another high carb meal? Rolling in pain. Drs at the Emergency Department said, "Don't eat high carb!"

cool😍😍

Cazcraz99, Yes, if the gallbladder is not infected/ inflamed! My mother went in for keyhole surgery and woke up with a large incision and staples!

I am going to take to the 🏰 to get a new one in your life and you can get to the office to pick up some things to the 🏰

I romance with other with bladder

Cazcraz99, Keyhole is not always the case for this surgery. I was expecting keyhole and woke up cut through thorax with 32 staples. when they went in they found calcium stones and sand ( due to a hereditary disorder) and had to check every valve and duct through my gastrointestinal tract for blockage or tumours. I was as shocked and it took months to recover.

Tanya, But they do put in The effort to Check The amount in Your Bank Account.

I had my fall bladder removed when I was 25. I had stones in the duct backed up and sending bile all over. I have a 8" scar because when they removed it, it disintegrated in the surgeons hand so they did an exploratory of all of my organs which were ok. I was in the hospital 10 days...3 days b4 surgery on IV antibiotics and 7 days afterward. Most painful surgery I've ever had. I didn't fit any of the criteria for fall bladder problems, so I had it for a while b4 Ultrasound.

Cazcraz99, my daughter wasn't! she had to have a second emergency surgery and was in intensive care for a week and in hospital for a whole month!
