nausea

I didn't have any nausea once they took out the morphine drip the day after surgery so not sure if yours is related to your kidney surgery or the gall bladder surgery. I would imagine having your gall bladder removed would affect digestion but if I were you I'd ask my doctor about it.

Suggestion..

to contact the nurse either with your surgeon's office or your primary care office.  The nausea is highly likely related to the gall bladder removal and possible a mild inflammation of the pancreas.  Mine was found on a mid-night run to the ER.

When you are nauseated, you don't eat what is needed to restore energy and strength.  Petty soon it becomes a vicious circle.  Anti-nausea meds and then natural healing can get you thru the process.

Because I also had the L half of my liver and the gall bladder removed at the time of the kidney/nodes removal, I had pancreatitis beginning at about 2-3 weeks post surgery.  Once the pancreatitis cleared up, I started to get better and was OK by 6 weeks post surgery.  

Call someone, please.

Speak to your general practitioner and they will tell you if you need to see your oncologist or more likely tell you there's nothing to worry about. Either way you have everything to win and nothing to lose by talking to your doc.

I've suffered bouts of nausea since I had my kidney removed 2 1/2 years ago. I'd tell the doctor about it. I haven't had much luck figuring out the cause. The docs tell me that nausea can be caused by 1000 things, and without other symptoms it can be hard to figure out.

I've heard a gall bladder removal can really affect your ability to digest fats. Did you get dietary guidelines one what/how to eat?

How's your kidney function since you had your kidney removed?

Talk to your doctor. I'd start with my family doctor, but tell all of them whenever you have a chance to talk to them. If it's serious enough, make an appointment or get them on the phone.
