Frustrated and Confused ..... Update!!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

Its been a while since I last posted...I just thought I

would let you guys know whats going on with me.

Well my doctor is still using that " wait and see approach "

but somethign interesting has come up.I had my blood work done

recently and my white blood cell count was elevated and of course the

heartburn is still deiving me nuts.My cholesterol is still high

despite some diet changes.Funny thing is she asked me " Did the doctor

take out your gallbladder when you had your appendectomy?(i had my

appendectomy 5/28/02)of course i said no.She has always suspected it

was my gallbladder and my complaints seem to indicate that being the

case.I had the upper G.I series and the ultrasound and of course

things where normal again.It appears i have no stones.and nothing

obstructing my bile ducts and or intestines.So i guess that's what

prompted her to use the wait and see appraoch.Funny thing is I am

still suffering from chronic constipation,heartburn,high cholesterol,

and occasional mild pains in my right side.Do you guys think my pains

my be contributed to gas from my constiaption?my heart burn and

cholesterol from being overweight.Its been a year now and I dont know

if its all in my head or if i have a real problem.I just dont know

what to do anymore.I have a friend who claims to be suffering from

cerrosis of the liver resulting from undected gallbladder disease.i

just dont want to sit back and have that happen to me.
