Its most likely a hematoma\nits part of the healing process UNLESS you are experiencing increased abdominal pain, vomiting, fever

when you slepp (useually anyway!) u are lying down. the stomach acids and enzymes inside your digestive channell release gasses when they break down food. these gasses are carbon dioxide and methane. anyway, when your laying down, those gasses are free to travel back up the channell and into your stomach and oesophegus, eventually back into your throat ana mouth. the only way you could treat this sympton without an air freshener in your mouth, is to eat a couple of tictacs before you go to sleep

I had surgery last year and I felt exactly like this (other than the poring blood part..that's kind of scary).  Your throat is sore because they jammed a tube down it.  Your having a hard time breathing because of the anesthesia and your chest is sore.  Your head hurts from the anesthesia and your body is sore because you should see the things they do to bodies on the operating table.  lol  Just kidding. Your body has been through A LOT today.  Give it time to heal.  As for the bleeding...do what ever the Doctors said!  If you get real short of breath go to the ER. Good luck and remember...you only get what you pay for :-).

Sort of. I got sick again a few months after mine, and apparently it was becuz there were still a few gallstones  in my stomach somewhere. It took a long time to feel better, but still have the pain and "funny" sensation once in a great while. Depending on how long you had the problem before it was removed, it could cause scarring.

I don't think the two things are related. The bellybutton has to be from something else, maybe you got poked with something while you were sleeping?  I had my gallbladder out with the laproscopic surgery 12 years ago and it was really, really easy.  I felt great right afterwards, almost no pain.  My only regret was that I waited too long to have the surgery because I was afraid and suffered alot of painful attacks! Good luck to you.

The anesthesia will make you vomit. If you vomit while asleep you could aspirate it and die.

i had my gallbladder removed a year ago I'm 18 now and it was really scary the doc said i had something else wrong with me ..my liver was enlarger and i had a stone in my pancreas..i waited too long and the pain was soooo bad...after surgery you get really bad shoulder pain because the air they put into your stomach has no where too go. i read that alot of ppl had diarrhea after the surgery. i didn't have that . my stomach was really score i have 3 tiny scares on my stomach now. i find tho that if you don't watch what you eat you will get another attack i still cant eat anything fattening. Ive gotten a few gallbladder attacks since. but the diarrhea isn't anything to worry

t you are feeling is due to the surgery. when lap surgery is done, not only is the skin cut but a membrane on the inside is also cut. this membrane is not stitched so the incision does not close easily. sometimes it takes as much as 2 years for this to heal. sometimes there will be a knot form at the incision, this is a gut pushing through the hole of the membrane. you can gently push this back with your fingers. you will feel this problem more when you bend over. be patient and it will heal eventually.\n\nmy wife has gone through the same surgery, May 2004, and she is still having the same problems that you are having. just so you know the doctors will tell you that every thing is fine. feel free to contact me about any information that I might be able to help you with. I am an herbalist and I might be able to find something in the herbs that can help you. contact: widowmaker54@yahoo.com\ngood luck and best wishes to you.

My experience wasn't so great as fred the dog's. The anaesthetic just about killed me and I slept and slept and slept. It was about 2/3 weeks before I could laugh properly or sleep on my side and felt normal. However, I feel fantastic now, definately worth getting done- after the post op niggles go!!

Going to sleep is way better than being awake for 4 extractions!\n\n1)  Have soft foods on hand for dinner & and the next few days.  Ice cream, yogurt, scrambled eggs, soups.\n\n2)  You might be "weird" when you first wake up so have somebody with you that won't mind!  Weird is acting strange, walking in a different direction -- and vomiting because of the anesthesia.\n\n3)  Follow the oral surgeons instructions.  Don't try home remedies.  They no longer recommend salt water rinses.\n\nI know it's a bummer to have it done but better now than later.

The tendency to bloat is due the fact that the abdominal covity was open to air, allowing free air to enter, causing the bloating and distentiion. Also, many people have a build up of fluids after surgery, it is a part of the bodies attempt to heal and usually goes away

Congratulations on your surgery!  I recommend the website www.hystersisters.com. It is a great support site for those with hysterectomies and thinknig about getting one.   The pain is from the gas.  if you can get an ok from your dr take something like gas-x that has simethicone in it.  But other than that,  move around gently and that will help the gas move through your system. it can sometimes take awhile.  Be sure to hold a pillow to your tummy if you have to cough!

If you are having surgery you will be knocked out and comfortable anyway, they take care of it for you. The main concerns should be how the surgery goes , then waking up and recovering.

I have had gallbladder surgery.  I had several problems with mine.  The bloating that you are feeling is most likely caused from the gas that they use to help keep the stomache area inflated while they perform the surgery.  If this is the case, make sure that you do plenty of walking around.  This will help the gas be absorbed into the body and regulate the pressure that was once in the cavaty.  Another possibility is that the swelling and bloating that you are feeling right now if it is not due to the gas is the inflammation of the surgery.  Make sure that you don't over do it and with time it should go away.  However, if you notice that you stomach area is becoming black looking or the blackness that you may already have seems to be spreading consult a dr immediately.  Hopefully this helps to releave some of the tension that you might be experiencing.  Just remember that when in doubt see your doctor.

No, they will not put you to sleep. They should offer some sort of anti -anxiety medication like valium before the procedure though, like valium. They should also thouroughly explain exactly what will happen when your in surgery. They will put numbing drops in your eyes, so all you will feel is some pressure. It's really not that bad. It's very quick, once it's done you'll be amazed at how easy it was. There's also lots of web sites out there that go through what happens on surgery day, knowing what to expect can help you feel at ease.

My father had this surgery after having heart problems caused by the weight. I have done a lot of research on it and have not heard of a clinical link to a post surgical link and would guess it is related to pre surgery health. My cousin who had the surgery has had deteriorarating health since surgery that they thought was heart related only to discover it was caused by severe anemia. Take your vitamins and b-12 as directed and I doubt it was the surgery but look out for other side effects.
