Oh you poor thing! Did you go to the doctor??? Are you on something for gallstones? My surgeon put me on something for gallstones even though my gallbladder was perfectly healthy - he puts everyone on it. Update and let us know how it came out.

Topic: GALLSTONES!!!!!!! OH the PAIN!
This was copied from my journal.....
I was asleep dreaming about Two-A-Days and I was telling Kristen how my stomach was killing me and that I thought I was having a heart attack. The dream wouldn't end and finally she lost interest.... *****
Anyway, I woke up and for real felt a major tightness like right below my sternum (sp?). Now, I'm no stranger to gas and since the surgery I have it often. I pop my gas x and walk around. So that's just what I did. But this time it was worse and I was sortof in a panic because the pain kept getting worse and worse. After about 30 minutes of me pacing my house at 3am I finally belch but it didn't help. So I thought I should try going to the bathroom because hell, maybe I needed to take a **** or throw up or something... when you've had your stomach cut into pieces and your intestines rerouted.... who knows?! So I go to the bathroom, sit on the pot and wake up on the bathroom floor with my head pounding and still feeling like I'm having a heart attack. I FRIGGIN FAINTED!! So that really had me in a panic and I went up stairs to try to lie down again. I started having a hot flash so I stripped down naked and put the fan right on me. Well, then I got really cold but couldn't put the covers over me because I was pouring sweat. My bed was soaked. I tried to get David up but he was out of it and just told me I was tripping. I almost called an ambulance!! I had the phone in my hand ready to dial 911 but held off hoping the pain would go away. I went back and forth telling myself "It's just gas" to "Lord, please take me to heaven and forgive me" to "Please don't let me die". Well, the pain persisted for about another 30 minutes and finally I just fell back to sleep.
I woke up this morning with some type of burn on my face and there's a big like scuff on the bathroom wall.
