I was told that I had gallstones and to just adjust my diet and wait and see.

Well I did what they told me until one day I felt so sick that I thought for

sure I was going to die. I had no pain so I didn't know exactly what was

going on. My hubby insisted I go to the ER and get checked. Well I went in

and to my suprise I had a major blockage in my duct and my gallbladder was

seriously bad my family didn't notice because they were with me all the time

but when the doc looked at me I was yellow. My liver was affected and so was

my pancrease because of the blockage. I had to stay in the hospital for 2

days on IV antibiotics and they had to flush me. Fortunately they were able

to do a roto rooter on my bile duct and then the following day they were able

to take my gallbladder out with the 3 tiny incisions. I felt great and was

back to normal in no time. Had the roto rooter not worked we would have been

looking at the old type of gallbladder surgery which from what I understand

is a nightmare for a normal healthy person. I did have a problem getting

back to normal after the surgery because of the blockage really screwed up my

liver and pancrease. I would recommend to get the thing out before you have

major problems. I followed the diet and everything and still had troubles.
