When I had my last attack, I had brown urine, all kinds of issues pointing to my pancreas/liver. The doctor would have had me in for surgery straight away after it was discovered (doctor initially thought I had a blood clot in my lung because my gallbladder attacks were more in my chest) but I had to have the two surgeries, completely different, with two different surgeons so there were scheduling issues and I refused surgery unless they were back to back as I am afraid of needles. Got me in within several days, with very strict guidelines, etc. Ate cheerios w/ skim milk all week. So, was in one surgery in an x-ray room as the thing went down my throught and unclogged the tubes, back in recovery, woke up and said hi to my Mom, then wheeled into a different surgery room with a different surgeon to take it out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-875702678423574176.post-60895737776922875892009-07-03T14:27:02.893-04:002009-07-03T14:27:02.893-04:00I haven't followed your blog, just saw this ti...I haven't followed your blog, just saw this title on another blog and had to come over. I would go back and read more but my computer doesn't like your site! Hmmmm . . . will try later.<br /><br />Anyway, why don't you have your gallbladder out? It will change your life! In 2002 at the age of 28 I had my first attack and I thought I was having a heart attack. But, I was uninsured as I was recently laid off and am not big on making a big deal of medical things (I know . . . stupid) so I just lived through it. Thought it was a freak thing.<br /><br />I continued having them, usually not quite as bad, and learned to breathe through them much like a woman breaths through labor. Oh, a couple here and there were bad, the worst ones made me throw up.<br /><br />Finally in 2003 I told my doctor about them, now that I was insured. He said it was heartburn and to avoid spicy foods. So, I did. But, at the same time I was eating healthier. They became few and far between.<br /><br />In 2006 I had a really bad one while driving. Lasted three hours parked in a parking lot. Surprised no one called 911. Had different insurance and better medical care and called the gastro doctor right away.<br /><br />Long story short, after many tests - CT scans, blood, ultrasounds - I was diagnosed and not only did I have gallstones, but the tube from my gallbladder to the intestine was blocked. I ended up having two surgeries in one day -- one to remove the stones from the tube and another to remove the gallbladder. <br /><br />It was my first surgery of any kind, so I was scared, but it wasn't so bad. I stayed the night in the hospital and the next week was tough. The hardest part was the gas they blow you up with. I healed up just fine with minimal scarring (had it done laproscopically) and no food issues whatsoever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
