Guest guest Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 I posted to this site a while back because I had some episodes of pain under my right breast bone. Both times it happened it was after eating pizza late at night. I went to the doctor. She had me get an ultrasound. They found my gallbladder wall thickening and my gallbladder full of stones. I knew about the stones because I had tests done about 4 years back for other issues but since I didn't have gallbladder symptoms I was not recommended for surgery. My doctor referred me to a surgeon and he suggested I remove my gallbladder while I am healthy so the procedure would be simple. If I get a stone lodged in a duct etc. it could lead to emergency surgery and more complications. I haven't had an " attack " if indeed it was a gallbladder attack for several weeks now. I have been super careful and have really tried to eat healthier and exercise more and I have managed to lose a few pounds as a result. I have had more nausea due to a feeling of fullness in my throat though after eating. I can't tie it to certain foods at this point but I am wondering if I have GERD. I don't have chest pain along with in, no sour taste in my mouth etc. Is it possible the GERD is caused by my gallbladder not functioning well? Also there have been a few times that I have eaten what I wanted just to see if I would have an attack(not convinced I need surgery) and I haven't had an attack. I have eaten pizza and fries and no problem. I have made a point of eating them earlier in the day though when I have done it. Anyway sorry for the long post just so many questions.... Thank you for your time. Chantal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
