I have read the Gallbladder thread start to finish. From my teenage years til now, about 1-2 a year, I got what I was thinking was gas cramps.I could take some gas-x and about 30-45 minutes, the pain would be gone. This Easter we had a big lunch, and I just felt bad all day. I didn't even eat dinner. Later that night, I had the attack, except it would not go away. After about 8 hours, I decided to go to Urgent Care place close to the house. After they got through running all the heart test that my insurance would pay for. We got down to business trying to figure it out. I did cat scan, blood work, and ultra sound. The overnight doctor came in and basically said that my Gallbladder was enlarged and I had gallstones. They were waiting on one remaining test, but thought I would be going to the hospital for emergency gallbladder removal. The day doctor came in and basically said there was nothing wrong with my gallbladder, I had a few gallstones, and sent me home. I follow up with my doctor and a surgeon and they are telling I should basically have it removed. They also are telling me there is no side effect of having it removed. From the people I talked to & researched, it seems to leave a good chance for some bad stomach & diarrhea problems.
For the people, who had theirs removed, that was an emergency, Was it worth the afterwards problems? Thanks
