[QUOTE 3243614, member: 259"]Exactly the same thing happened to me. Infected gallbladder leading to pancreatitis. The pain till they put me on morphine was like nothing on earth.[/QUOTE]
When I went in they were really off with me thinking I was an alcoholic... attitude changed as soon as they did blood tests and realised I was sober most of the time.....They put me on pethidine.... The state of peace and euphoria that came over made me realise afterwards why a certain type of person would do recreational drugs....

Wow ! What a transformation. I'd forgotten what it was like to sleep ALL night.
It's only been four days since the op so still a little pain from the wounds,
but the only major discomfort is now "Brooks Itch", that is, the need to get back on my bike.
Cheers,

Hope everything goes well with the recovery..... you're right though its amazing to be able to walk around without the constant pain
trust me though you need to stay off the bike for a few weeks (I never thought I would give anyone that advice!!!!)

So glad it's going ok for you the misses had that done a couple of years ago (thank god you hear him say) she was not long before she was out and about ! the only thing I will warn you of is on her way out the hospital ward the nurse said to her "just think Jane you can eat what you want now" so guess what she did KFC the whole sodding 9 yds lol so just watch the weight my friend she gained around 10 lbs in her first week after the op lol

I've never been a pork pie/fish & chips/ take away type person although I refuse to throw away the skin from a home roast chicken. It's the best bit.
I hoping that being able to work more (self employed) and exercise more (bike) will result in a loss in weight rather than a gain.
I'm staggered by the number of people that have had their gall bladder removed. It seems like the removal of a child's tonsils used to be.
Even Nurse Nina down the Doctors Surgery (sorry, no pics) who dressed my wounds yesterday said she had had the op.

A lot of removals are down to lifestyle, that's why they class it as an elective operation.
I am 4 weeks post op now - difficult surgery but my brilliant surgeon managed it by keyhole.
I'm only now starting to feel better!

I now feel quite guilty.
Only five days and I feel like a new man.
And before anyone makes a wise crack the wife's already done that.

Awww don't feel guilty! I have a lot of drug reactions and it usually takes me 10 days or so to get up and running.
I had a lot of internal stitches plus a drain, so things took a bit longer than normal to heal.
Just done my first ride in 4 weeks...13 miles and it is so good to be back!

Sorry to bore you but I promise this is the last time I post on this thread.
12 days since the op. Feel great, so got the bike out this afternoon.
Didn't plan a long run or anything strenuous. Just go where the road takes me, and come back.
Found a picnic park where a couple had set up a gazebo and were selling tea & cakes and the devil in me just nagged & nagged.
Gowan gowan gowan gowan gowan……. well ok then. Puff pastry triangle with cherry pie filling, and a cuppa.
The chap gave me a serviette and said "you'll need this." I did.
Had a chat with a very pleasant couple about their tandem, then headed back.
Now as I near home there's a hill; to me it's Kettle Hill, but a better name would be The Matterhorn, a hill that
I have never made it up without a rest half way.
Not today though. Stood on the peds, then sat for the last third and dropped onto the granny ring. YES
Lack of gall bladder or cherry puff triangle?

My guess could be both @cardiac case and as I posted before watch the weight my friend lol.

Sorry to bring the tone of the thread down but I went to hospital for a 3mm gallstone found by ultrasound and the MRCP found the cancer (lymphoma) in my lungs, liver, groin, etc. Makes sense why cycling hurt so much since the biggest lump is right around the blood vessels supplying the liver. Waiting for surgery for biopsy. Did not expect this at 27 although I knew I was high risk.
