gall bladder
hello readers,
as most of you know we who have had gastric by pass are prone to gall bladder issues.
i started with mine about 5 months ago with a nasty attack of very bad pain when i was at work.
one of my co workers took me to the ER and they did several tests that didn't say what the probmel was but i had my suspicions,
i went with their recommendations to my gastric surgeon who said well from the tests its hard to say if its a real gall bladder issue lets see if you get anoth rone if you do we'll do some more tests,.
guess what? i got another one! this one was about a month after the first. it hit me very fast. without any warning,.
i had left work and was heading home with out any issues. i work in new london and live in colchester which is abut 30 minutes away. half way home in salem i got hit with pain tht was so sever i could not drive. i pulled into a restaurant parking lot and staggered into the place they called 911 and i was on my way to the ER again.
they did some more tests then again told me to call my surgeon.
went to see him and had more tests.
i do believe they needed to make some car payments or something thats why tjey did the stupid tests!
anyways had the surgery and now feel great.
at first i blamed the gastric then i found out that its not only just us who have had the surgey who have gall bladder issues. its anyone who for any reason has lost alot of weight. even if you did it without surgery!
that mademe feel better.
plus i found out if you have had family members who have had issues tht you could too. my sister had hers out 30 years ago. so that probalby al contributed to the mix.
either way they push youout of the hospital way to quick. i was in and out. because of past surgerys like the gastic and my 3 c-sectoins they had a bunch of things to clean up so of course my scars are not the little one inch things they were suppose to be!
