Just a few months before starting hrt, I had my gallbladder removed. It's 8 months now and I'm back at work, doing my usual every day tasks etc. I'm just wondering if anyone else has had this op and several months down the line gets any twinges around the op site at random times? I'm trying to lose some of the weight I've gained and doing pilates so I'm not doing high impact exercises. I'm not worried about anything, it's just annoying

Hi Saz76

I haven't had an operation but my OH has.
Last October he had a major op on his stomach, and now, nearly 12 months on, he still gets pain and an uncomfortable feeling around the site. He’s been told it’s nerve damage from where the incision was, which stretches from one side under the ribs to the other side. Not sure how big yours is, but even so, I’m sure they’d have cut through nerves.
Hope this helps, but also, maybe get it checked at the docs or with a nurse. ?
Xx

It can be annoying - there's a lot of muscle and nerves to heal so 8 months mayB early days.  Could you ring the Ward and ask, presuming that your Consultant has discharged you 'back to the GP'?

Nerves take a while to grow back ......... let us know how you get on.

I had gallstone op in 2000 laparoscopically
I’ve had what I call a rasping feeling around the site at times. Can you link it to anything you might be eating?
8 months is early days can a Pilates teacher advise as well ?
