, I am just wondering, you mention that you have been flushing for 15

years. That seems a long time! Is this because the flushes have not been

successful in ridding your GB from stones? From what information I have

gathered, I would have thought that periodic flushing for say, 6 months or

maybe up to a year, that would be sufficient.

I have yet to try the flush, but I find it disheartening to read that I may

have to put myself through this for years and years and still not get rid of

the stones. You also mention " if the day comes...I have to have my GB

out... " This causes me to think that the flushes haven't been of much help

to you. Here I was hoping that the flushes were the way to go to avoid

surgery; that after, say, a year, I'd be better. But after reading your post

I think I may have been wrong. This is discouraging.

I am asking you this because I have always found your posts helpful and

informative from someone who's " been there done that " and maybe you could

shed some light on this.

Thanks, Anne
