Eridania lost 120 pounds in 9 months; Carmen has lost almost 50 in 5 months. “Standing 10+ hours daily was killing my feet and energy level, says Eridania. “Now I can do so much more during the day and go out after work!”

Gallbladder disease, a common condition affecting nearly 20% of the population, often stems from gallstones that can lead to inflammation and excruciating pain. If you’re experiencing intermittent pain in the upper right abdomen, consult your primary care doctor for a gallbladder assessment, and don’t hesitate to reach out to New Jersey board-certified gallbladder surgeon Dr. Seun Sowemimo for further diagnosis and guidance.

Gallbladder Disease Symptoms

If you are suffering from stones in the gallbladder, you may experience intermittent pain in the right upper abdominal region. The pain typically starts after eating and may cause nausea, vomiting or bloating. Fever may or may not be present.

People who have severe symptoms from gallstones (usually diagnosed by an ultrasound) frequently have their gallbladder removed through a minimally invasive procedure called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Are You Having a Gallbladder Attack?
Posted by: In: Blog Post, gallbladder surgery, GI surgery 11 Dec 2020 0 comments Tags , , , , , , , , , , ,

Unless it’s causing problems, most people pay little or no attention to their gallbladders or what this organ does for the body.

But if you experience pain from a diseased gallbladder or gallstones, it will quickly command your full attention.

Our New Jersey board-certified laparoscopic surgeons have performed more than 1,000 successful gallbladder removal operations since 2007.

Gallbladder removal is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures.

A small organ located in the right upper abdomen under the liver, it stores some of the bile produced by the liver, which digests and absorbs the fats in the food that we eat.

Gallstones sometimes form inside the gallbladder and block the outlet from while the bile is moved out, which can result in considerable pain. In some cases, the stones may move into the bile duct, causing jaundice or an inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis).

If you are suffering from stones in the gallbladder, you may experience intermittent pain in the right upper abdominal region. The pain typically starts after eating and may be cause nausea, vomiting or bloating. Fever may or may not be present.

People who have severe symptoms from gallstones (usually diagnosed on an ultrasound) frequently have their gallbladder removed through a minimally-invasive procedure called a laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
