Gallbladder?

[Guest guest]

OK, Gang, gotta question for you. Last Sun my dh & I were coming

back from T-Day in FL with my best friend. We were about 3.5 hrs

from home when we stopped to eat at KFC. I know...not the best of

places to go, but when your in the middle of nowhere in GA you take

what you can get. I got fingers, baked beans & tater logs. Ate one

finger, a few bites of beans and 2 or 3 small logs. Got back on the

road and 15 min later...bam! Pain like I have never had before.

Felt like someone had twisted my insides up and started pumping air

into them. The spastic pain was in the middle of my belly under my

breast bone. This lasted about 2.5 to 3 hrs. I have a high pain

tolerance so I just toughed it out. I really didn't want to go to a

hospital that I did not know. By the time we reached home, I was

worn out, but almost pain free.

I called my PCP on Mon and got to see him yesterday. He doesn't

think that it's my gallbladder. Says that it's " Just your (WLS)

surgery! " . GRRRRRRRRR! First everything is my fat and now it's my

surgery?!?!? Anyhow, he sent me for a liver function test, so they

drew my blood. Next I will have an ultra sound done on Fri. Anyone

who has had something like this happen could you please give me your

input? I deal with pain pretty darned good, but this is NOT

something that I want to go through again.

Seems to me that the high " fat " content of what I ate could have

triggered the gallbladder? Had some trouble about a yr ago that

testing found that I had sludge in there. I don't usually eat much

fat and what we cook with at home is olive oil or peanut oil. Maybe

it's time to find an new PCP. Kinda tired of being poo poo'ed all

the time. I think that he thinks that I am just looking for

attention or something. Couldn't possibly be that I am more attuned

to my body now, could it (she says with sarcasam)?

Any help would be appreciated!
