Guest guest Posted July 25, 2001 Report Share Posted July 25, 2001 Hi Lu, Glad to hear you are feeling better today. When they did the ultrasound of my gall bladder they said it looked like the city gravel pit. I had surgery the following day and got it out. What a relief that was. Have they found stones in yours? It was only in the hospital for about 5 hours, the new surgery is so much easier. I did spent some uncomfortable 2 or 3 days at home, but then I healed up just fine. Take care and please get it checked out by your doctor. The surgery is so much easier now than it was back when my mother had hers removed.

Yes, I know how awful that pain can be. A person gets tired of that real fast, plus, it's so hard to know what's ok to eat that won't make it hurt worse. I was told to avoid spicey foods and anything fried. Sometimes that doesn't work either though. What does your doctor say about it? Do they know why it is diseased? Take care and I hope it settles down real fast. Love, Marilyn godave4@h... writes: > > > > . Have > > they found stones in yours?

Take care and I hope it settles down real fast. Love, Marilyn If they do they haven't told me, I feel like the Imuran has something to do with it but yet i can't prove that. The pain is better, but I just hated to have surgery befre Okieland time. lol Lu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Hi Lu, Do you use estrogen? I have heard that can sometimes cause gall bladder problems. I can certainly understand your hesitation to have the surgery, but mine was so bad I couldn't wait to get it out.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 Yes Marilyn I do, but its a low dosage....and Bill couldn't stand me if I didn't take it, I actually think he would move out of the house. lol I'm going to a female doc in a couple of weeks I will see what he has to say. Thank you so much! Love Lu Do you use estrogen? I have heard that can sometimes cause gall bladder problems.
