Bile Leak from Gallbladder Surgery
| Fri, 03-23-2007 - 9:47am |
Hi everyone,
I had my gallbladder taken out on Feb 8,2007. Have been feeling the same pains as before the surgery, but worse. I run low grade fevers at least 5 days out the week, and have lost weight. Saw the surgeon, said the pains were normal, went back a 2nd time and he referred me to a gastro. Had an endoscopy Monday, doc found that I had gastritis and also bile leaking into my stomach; he said it was from the gallbladder surgery. Has anyone been through this at all??? I am very scared.

I am sorry that you are still having so much trouble. Here is some information about bile duct disorders and gastritis...

I have not had the problems you are experiencing. What has the Gastro doc suggested be done next?
