Removed Gallbladder. Taking Pankreoflat. Stomach Discomfort. How Is My Health?
Thank you doctor. Good Day. I am located in India - Kolkata.
My gallbladder was removed 39 days ago by laparoscopy. I am applying medicine to superficial wounds and they appear fine. Presently I am taking a composition of Sodium Alginate, Magnesium Hydroxide, Aluminium Hydroxide, Simethicone thrice daily. I have also started with Pankreoflat tablets(pancreatin and activated dimethicone tabs)twice daily after meals because I had been generating lots of hydrogen sulphide like gas in my stomach after lunch. After taking the medicine farting is improved; but uneasiness in stomach still persists for 2 to 3 hrs. after lunch.
Prior operation all tests and whole abdomen USG was done and excepting gallbladder stone everything was okay.
I am also taking 2 tsp Lactulose solution at night for last 2 days.
Would you kindly tell me how well am I. ( My age: 66.5 years).
Thanks again and Regards to you.

Hi and welocme to HCM.
You are well.There is no need to be concerned. these problems are common after cholecystectomy. Even more serious symptoms can occur and then it is called postcholecystectomy syndrome. Your body needs some time to adjust on surgery, sometimes 2-3 months. You just need to eat easier food,avoid alcohol and fats,and regulate your stool, you can continue with these medicines, but try to make it all easier by changing lifestyle habbits and dietary.
If you notice fever and pain under the rght ribs you should visit doctor to do further tests.
