Just posting to see if anyone has experienced similar results from gallbladder surgery. First of all my surgery went as smooth as silk, I was out of the hospital 20 hrs after surgery and feeling great. I did of course have abdominal soreness up to wazoo, but never did take any painkillers. With that said I have also eaten whatever I want and no sided effects or loose stools. So what could be wrong with this apparent bliss? 1) I am extremely constipated I went today after several days it was like passing bricks. So my symptom is atypical, why is that and does anyone have a similar result? Will it go away? 2) I also have loud abdominal sounds very different from before. Kind of weird? Any thought? I appreciate your responses.
