Oh goodness, I just called yesterday to get my surgery scheduled for October 8th. I've read about the "dumping" and read an old forum on the internet between a lot of people who all had their gallbladders taken out. Some were perfectly fine after a week like nothing had ever happened and others had a similar "itchy" feeling where the incision in the belly button was in addition to other things. My doctor said that a high carb/low fat diet would be necessary. But with the "dumping syndrome", I don't know if this would make a difference or not. Maybe you could jot down little notes about what and when you eat and on a seperate note pad write down every time you have an "episode".....then see if there is a connection. |
