BINGO! 2. See a doc. Get an order for an ultrasound exam presumptive for gallstones. 3. Hop on the cholecystectomy bandwagon if positive. --Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 20, 2001 Report Share Posted November 20, 2001 It doensn't to me. Back then, describing my gallstones as annoying would have been a dream. It was incredibly painful.

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2001 Report Share Posted November 21, 2001 I had the same thing preop. It was a good " reason " to get my gallbladder ultrasound, and an upper endoscopy done preop and have it covered by insurance. They didn't find anything, however when I had my surgery in Spain, I had a liver biopsy and have stage 3 steatohepatitis(fatty liver), I think my liver was starting to send me the warning signal.

Pammi>>>> you got lucky, Pammi! Mikes cousin now has liver failure and needs a transplant asap.....fatty liver can progress to NASH which is a whole other story! Liane can explain more about that but if she had known about the surgery 2 yrs ago NASH might not have happened and she wouldnt be as sick as she is now......so, count your blessings.
