Gallblader Removal

You probably just needed to go potty.

No mother.... She sent me for an ultrasound and the findings were abnormal.

I wish it were that simple. Go to get the sono.... "Everything is fine; you're just full of $hit!" Would save a lot of time and worry.

Don't worry. It starts out small but in a few months or a couple years, it will progress and then you can get it yanked out then.

Actually, that is the normal routine for most people. It starts off like now and since its hard to detect, they attribute to other stuff. Then the pain starts to come around more, etc... a year or so later they finally pop it out when its gotten really diseased.

We are here to help...

Sorry you're having problems, Pix. Remember, we're neighbors now, so if you need anything at all, call Kwillia.

Just got a call from my Dr., gallbladder will be coming out early next week. I have had this problem for 5 months and it took 3 series of x-rays, ct scan, and other testing before they could figure it out. The last x-rays with contrast didn't show anything, then on Friday, another series of x-rays with an injection to put my gallbladder in an attack, is what it took for them to find the problem.
Good luck with yours.

Here's what they use to remove it and a pic of one they already removed.... Hope this helps.

You're so sensitive.

1) After it, you will at least be running to the bathroom at high speed anytime you eat anything for a few months after. A lot of people still get set off by certain foods for years, if not forever, after.

I've always liked the term "Explosive Diarrhea". I so rarely get to use it in a sentence.

Do you fart a lot?

Lost weight after mine was removed because you could only eat hospital type foods, jello and such for a while. Back to about the same weight now as I was before the surgery. Bathroom proximity will become something you scope out upon entering any unfamiliar building because when you feel it coming its coming.

If you are going to get it done it is better to have it done before it becomes an emergency. My gallbladder had gone gangrenous and the laparoscopic surgery planned became the 10 inch slice along the rib cage.
