My SIL had some gall bladder problems years ago. I don't remember what her symptoms were, but after she had the gall stones removed, all of her ailments went away. She said she felt like a new person.

BTW, I hate her.

Mine gave me some trouble, so I kicked it out.

Seriously, a few years ago, I kept feeling this stabbing pain under my ribs on the right and it felt like the worst gas pain you can imagine. I was eating antacids and stuff every day.

One night at about 2 am, it was so bad I had to go to the ER. After a sonogram, they admitted me and immediatly prepped me for surgery to remove the whole thing. They wouldn't even let me leave the ER to make arrangements for work or my kids.

I wound up having the whole thing removed, which included 15 stones the size of quarters

My gall bladder was three times it's normal size.

I was so jaundiced that the doctors were amazed I didn't know I was sick but I had just had my son and thought part of that was pregnancy

I cried when I saw the change in my color after surgery. The reason I had jaundice was because one stone had lodged itself in the duct going to my liver and my liver wasn't filtering bile from my body. I could have wound up with a dead liver too

What is wrong? I haven't had the surgery but my flare ups aren't that frequent.

Mine's gone! Don't miss it! Basically had flare ups like BB for years off and on, but no stones. Eventually, they decided it needed to come out.

I"ve seen two types of sugery. The one I had was three small holes, one in the upper middle part ob my stomach and two exploration(?) holesto the right side.

I had a friend who needed the really awful one where they practically cut you in half. I think the scar is 20+ inches, but he had a big round belly like Santa Claus.

Same here. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

Thanks All!

Beleeze, glad you made it through that ordeal!

Undergoing tests with ultrasound tests on the liver, panceas and gall bladder coming up. Been experiencing flare-ups for several months. They seem to be initiated after eating rich/fatty foods or too much wine/rum, etc. Usualy kick-in about four hours after eating and are miserable for 1 to 6 hours.

Eliminating the fatty food intake has helped, but there's definately something amiss...
