Nausea after gallbladder surgery

[kekeba]

I am 6 weeks post gallbladder removal and have had nausea, especially in the morning since surgery. I also have had burning in the area where the gallbladder was at night while sleeping. The nausea seems to happen when I eat anything with fat like meat.  Is this normal? My surgeon has never heard of this and suggested I go to Mayo clinic for more testing.

I had uterohydronephrosis and it is OUCHIES!!!!!!!!!!  Never experienced pain like that in my life ... worse than my GB attacks!

I too continued to have nausea after gallbladder was removed.  The only difference was it was constant, just not as severe as it was when my GB was malfunctioning.  I found that I could eat fruit and vegetables and later was able to introduct other foods as my system had time to heal.  

For me the nausea got worse and worse until I went into throwing up repeatedly.  It ended up being hydronephrosis.  I DID need my GB out, it was NOT functioning at all.  But I had oodles of other things going on.  

It certainly wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.

I would go to see what is going on, if it were me. Sometimes it takes a while for things to settle down but this seems like a long time with no relief of the symptoms you describe.  I'm not a doctor, just a patient like you so just my thoughts.
