Gallbladder removal and dizzy

3 replies

I had to have an emergency procedure and have my gallbladder removed. It's been 5days post op and I feel like I'm getting dizzier every day. I feel weak at the legs and very light headed all the time. No pain and no other symptoms. Is this normal? Not taking any strong pain killers either.

I’d be asking to check your iron.
Drink plenty and take some sugar too.

No not normal.

Have any signs of infection? Temp, redness around incision?

Whatever you need medical advice pronto. My friend mum had complications after gallbladder removal which couldn't have been more serious. If something isn't right don't ignore it. Not trying to scare you - mine was fine apart from a wound infection - but you must not ignore signs that something isn't right
