Gallbladder ( Archived) (31)

k_4beautiful: I wouldn't be too worried. As long as you are going to the Dr. they should be able to find out and give ya some answers. :) I had a gallbladder attack when my second daughter was about 6 months old. I woke up w/severe pain on my right side and then started throwing up and could barely walk it hurt so bad. I went to the ER and they did an ultrasound and said I had gallstones. I had my gallbladder removed(which did NOT leave me w/huge scars; only 3 small incisions and then it was removed through my belly button, lol) After a few weeks I was back to normal w/no problems. Hang in there and just take it easy. Lay off greasy foods and spicy stuff since that can make digestion problems worse no matter what is wrong. Good luck and let us know what happens. :)

CjTenorSax: I struggled for 5 yrs with mine b/c I did not have stones. When they took it out, I was told they got it in the nick of time. The next step was necrosis.

Keep your appointments.

tina_olson: Mine was the same....but went on for 4 months-ended up in the hospital quite a few times..Surgery was easy and back to myself in 2 weeks...I agree with spicy or rich foods-but towards the end with me I was lucky I could eat a cup of soup and it would set off an attack..Mine was 15 years ago

wildkitty: thanks, my dr. told me if the pain gets bad to go to the closest ER. I'm not looking forward for any op. either but if it needs done and stops the pain then i'm good to go..I have a high pain tolerence but i would rather be safe than sorry.
