Does anyone know of a drs office that’s open tonight that has an sonogram machine? I had a horrific gallbladder attack last night and I want to get checked out to make sure I’m ok. Also, for those who have had their gallbladder taken out, which hospital did you get the surgery? Monmouth? Kimball?

Hi,

I don’t know the answer to your first question since I had an ultrasound done during a regular weekday, but I had my gallbladder removal surgery done by Dr. Tomer Davidov in Robert Wood Johnson, he’s one of the surgeons in their General Surgery group. Dr. Andrew Boyarsky is part of the same group and also came highly recommended.

I had a hernia repair done together at the same time as the gallbladder removal so my recovery time was probably longer than average....but the pain after surgery was bearable honestly (they inject some kind of nerve block in your abdomen so you don’t feel so much pain immediately after the surgery), and I only took the 600 mg of Advil they said I could take, I didn’t take any of the Oxycodone they prescribed.

I was in a lot of pain the day after the surgery from the carbon dioxide they blow you up with during the surgery, but that is to be expected

BH after recovering from the surgery I feel perfectly fine, there were no surgical complications and no residual effects from having no gallbladder.

Regarding managing the pain before surgery, I only had a total of 2 (horrific) attacks, not related to anything I ate. I was always living in terror of having more attacks and so went for the surgery. Sorry I can’t help you there.

Let me know if you have any more questions!

In reference to managing the pain until surgery, I tried to stick to a very bland diet. Mostly fat free and also ate very little. It helped me have less attacks.
The surgery is usually done laparoscopically so the recovery shouldn't be too bad. I needed a week to recover but others that I know needed even less time.
I had the surgery in NY so can't be of help with physician or hospital recommendations.
Hatzlacha! I hope u feel better soon!
