Gall Bladder-Shmall Bladder...

Well... It couldn't be too easy right? I mean seriously, I can't complain. I have lost 53 pound in 2 months. I am never hungry anymore. I have so much energy I want to run a mile. I have not thrown up once. I am not having any emotional issues.

BUT theres gotta be a BUT... I am going in tomorrow because I started having pain last friday that was bad enough that I needed my pain meds again. I tried to grin and bear it through the weekend, and on Monday I was like "Oh hell no, mamma needs to go in!" Called up the surgeon, they are having me come in tomorrow for an upper GI test, but I/we ALL know it's my gall bladder. They were going to try to take it out during surgery, but my damn fatty liver was in the way. Awesome.

Sooooooo..... we shall see what they say. Today was BAD, like its getting worse and worse. I had gall stones back in the day, and those attacks were by far worse than child labor. I just dunno if they will take it out this soon... and I am super stressed about living with this pain for a couple months. Like, theres noway... Ugh.

Anywho~ thats whats up with big ole me. Prayers would be welcomed.

Peace and Love!

I will definitely keep you in my prayers! I had my GB removed in 2004, so it was already gone for my surgery last month. I can remember the pain before they removed it like it was yesterday! It SUCKS!!! I have never given birth, but have many friends say the GB pain is even worse. Hang in there (I know, easier said than done) and keep us posted! Best wishes!

I'm getting my gallbladder out tomorrow morning. I do not have stones, but my gallbladder is not functioning. It's called biliary dyskenesia. I had gallstones during my last pregnancy (4 years ago), but the stones went away. The pain I have now is the same as the gallstone pain.

I hope everything works out with you. Please keep us posted.

Sorry to hear your having these pains Tausha. I hope that they are able to disolve your stones so that you do not have to endure another surgery so soon. Lemonade helps for kidney stones and will help with gall stones as well as apple juice. Best of luck.....praying for you....let us know what's happening.Sent you a PM.
