Thanks y'all. I just spoke with Dr. Jones office and he can't see me till May 5th! so I'm going to see Dr. Svendson on Thursday. Thank goodness! Will they just automatically pull it after one attack? or do they make you wait until they get so bad your ready to flush yourself down the toilet? I so don't wanna do this again. I'm at work today... for now, but I can feel things building up again in there. The tylenol isn't going to work all day I fear.

Make sure to not eat ANYTHING high in fat, grease or spicy. I lived on sourdough bread and gatorade for 3 weeks - which was the only way for me to avoid those attacks. Of course that was pre-op and over a period of 3 months. Hopefully they'll schedule an ultrasound ASAP and take it out immediately. Good luck.

Please spay and neuter your pets!

i had the ultrasound and a CT scan already while at the ER. Wow 3 weeks on bread and gatoraide? that sucks....! I've done a little reading on the attacks and one of hte biggest culprits are eggs... I'd had eggs for breakfast and spicy food for lunch on Sat.... sounds like that may have been what set it all off.

Well, as soon as I got my ultrasound back and it showed megagallstones, I got scheduled on a Friday for surgery on the following Tuesday. Tell them you want it out ASAP and want to be on the cancellation list.

Please spay and neuter your pets!

could be. The ER doc told me to eat a no fat diet, and to avoid all the stuff I told her I already DON'T eat! She gave me a prescription for percocet in case the pain gets really bad again to tide me over till I can see Dr. Jones.. or in this case Dr. Svendson. I'll feel much better when I've had a chance to speak with him. I didn't feel like she was listening to me when I kept telling her I was a RNY patient and that I DO NOT eat high fats, that i DO drink plenty of water, that I DO excercise daily heck the dye they brought me to drink she said HAD to be mixed in juice... I'm sitting there nearly in tears with my two large cups of juice/dye mix freaking out that I was going to dump from the juice. I was told that it could cause dumping so I've not drank ANY juice since after the clear liquid phase when they had me mixing half and half wate rand white grape juice. Luckily no dumping from it!

So sorry to hear about your gall bladder. That was the worst pain EVER! IMO, If you can endure another surgery which is pretty close to the RNY laproscopic surgery, I suggest asking for it to be taken out. After the third time of thinking I was having a heart attack (and 5 years pre-RNY surgery), I finally had mine taken out. Not once did that pain ever return.

I'll send you extra hugs!!!!
