Gallbladder Removed, Painful Cheat, Abdominal Pain, Internal Bleeding, Bile And Blood Drained. What Is Wrong?
I had my gallbladder removed LC and was sent home 2 days later even thou I had a huge pain in my chest and belly about 24 after surgery. They talked about going back to have another look but nothing happened. 5 days later an ambulance had to take me to hospital in excruciating pain where I endeduction up with surgery for internal bleeding. 2.4lts of blood and bile was drained over 6 days. They also did a 3rd surgery the day after the second to cut the opening of the bile duct or something. What went so wrong? 3 surgeries in a week and I'm still in pain 3 weeks from the last one.

Hi
These is post-op. complication happens some time if you are not lucky enough for good post-op. events, first possibility is there must be newer bleeder most probably from small artery,(II) opening of sutures or gap in between (III) Trauma
now better and close surgical monitoring is required, Good day

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thank you for your query.
There was obviously common bile duct injury which is known complication,but in your case there was also internal bleeding which is sometimes fatal in such situtations. These 3 surgeries were necessary and saved your life and there will be prolonged recovery for sure. SO be patient for 2-3 more weeks and do frequent ultrasound check ups. WIsh you good health. Regards
