Got a â3 to 7mmâ (Iâm confused too but I did just wake up from an exhaustion nap when she told me) polyp in my gallbladder. Four weeks of pain and an ultrasound and thatâs the conclusion for now, anyway. Normally they said theyâd just wait six months and have it checked again but theyâre concerned because Iâve been in as much pain as I have and thatâs not normal. Theyâre sending me to a GI whoâll determine if surgery is an option for me.
Right now I wish I could stay out another day of work but gotta suck it up and save the sick time until I know whatâs going on. If I do end up with surgery, Iâm def spending the recovery time watching all my Halloween stuff because I wonât be asking off for my Halloween âstaycationâ.
Anyone else ever have painful gallbladder polyps? Did they require surgery? How did you manage the pain meanwhile? What can I expect?
My stomach had been hurting so bad kinda on and off, mostly on, and I feel like it either hurts or doesnât regardless of what I eat, and yesterday I was so tired and out of it that I went and laid down for an hour nap at 2:30 and woke up completely confused at 5 having slept through a call from my doctor. I was too tired to even speak. My mom thought I was sick and kept reaching over in the car to check my temperature and I didnât even have the energy to move my jaw to tell her I wasnât âsickâ just tired. And it wasnât even sleepy tired, but⌠it was no energy. I felt empty.
I stopped at the craft store and bought clay and tiny brushes to work on my art but⌠I donât know when Iâll even find energy. I couldnât drag myself out of bed this morning for nothing and accidentally turned off my last alarm instead of snoozing it (i woke up in time anyway, and chose to just get up by then) this whole thing is insanely draining đŁ but Iâm really glad I have answers.
If anyone else is/has experienced this, mind reaching out?
