Re: New to group, a little scared

[Guest guest]

Hi Anne. I too was diagnosed with Gallstones at a young age. I just turned 28

today.

Anyway, I did not want to have my gallbladder removed mainly because I was

scared. I am so glad I did not. I dont want you to pressure you but try to read

some of the things on this website www.curezone.org and see for yourself. You

should think about doing a liver flush before surgery. Good luck & I know how

you feel. I was in your shoes too.

Subject: New to group, a little scared

Hi everyone,

My name is Anne and I am new to the group. I was recently diagnosed

with having gallstones a few weeks ago. It came as a shock to me

because I am only 25 and am about 126 lbs. It took a while to get a

diagnosis, however. I went to a doctor in my internal med. group and

he told me it was probably just gastritis...sent me for an ultrasound

and the tech that did it saw nothing. BUT, my symptoms got worse and

I decided to go to a gastro. doctor. He suspected gallstones, and he

ordered an ultrasound which he and a tech did. He (and the tech) saw

one larger stone(a little over a half inch) with several small ones.

How could the 1st ultrasound have missed that? I am a little mad

about that. My symptoms are: weight loss (10 lbs), indigestion,

right shoulder pain, belching, vomiting/dry heaves(sp?), and a pain

that comes only once in a while below my right rib and going into my

side. I am scheduled for surgery to remove the gallbladder on

12/27. My question is: Can gallstones be missed by one person, and

seen by another...meaning do they move around and miss being seen? I

do not doubt my diagnosis, but am just curious. Thanks in advance

for any help!

Sincerely,

Anne

Hi Anne,

Good luck with your situation. I too was scheduled for surgery,

but without my consent, so I never showed up for it. I had spoken to

several women who had the surgery and they did not have positive

things to say. I researched alternatives and have done the olive

oil/lemon juice flush several times, with success every time. I am

hoping to do several more flushes to rid myself of the rest and at

the same time cleanse my liver to keep more from forming. I am now

working on a dietary change also.

I wish you all the best and hope you find relief soon.

Regards

B
