I fought gall stones for a couple years before I was finally diagnosed. Once I had it removed, fantastic ever since :)

Gall stones are no joke. The pain as you know is freaking intense. I had Gall stones long before I knew it. I thought the damn roach coach at work was trying to kill me. Eventually I got it removed and have been pain free ever since.

If you don't want to have it removed, welcome to the land of salads and rice cakes. :lol:

I had 3 really bad flare ups. I went to the ER for the last one because I didn't know what the hell was going on. They figured out what it was, and were actually gonna discharge me (at like 2 am). But another ER doc came in to talk to me about it and asked if i'd want to hang around until ultrasound opened up at 7 to get a better look at it. He's like.... it's just gonna flare up again if you leave (which I knew).

So, had the ultrasound around 7 am, and ended up in surgery around 2 pm.

its been awhile since I been on here. But since i was last on here I had my GB out. what a relief. it got so bad I was in the hospital for 5 days. I had a stone pass into my pancreas and infect it. 2 days trying to beat the infection and then able to get the surgery.
