Darnn Gall Bladder
Reared its ugly head again today. I was at work. Ate a Babybel cheese. About an hour later, the pain started. It took me about 20 minutes to realize what was happening. I called the doctor's office. They said come right over. (they are 1/2 block from my office). She did blood work, found that my GB was very tender, gave me a shot for pain and another shot for nausea and told me to go home. I called my boss and she met me at my car with my purse and keys. I had just left them at the office as I saw no need to carry them with.
Anyway, since I had already eaten and drank fluids, x-ray said they wouldn't do the ultrasound today. So I'll have it done in the morning. My PCP was pretty annoyed with x-ray.
I'm hoping and praying that they will find lots of stones and sludge so there's no doubt that it needs to come out. This is my 3rd attack since surgery. Two years ago I had an ultrasound. No stones or sludge, so they did a Hydascan. It showed that my GB "wasn't working well". Since there were no stones or sludge and I wasn't having pain, they decided it wasn't medically necessary to remove it. Since I already know it doesn't work right, there really isn't much need for me to take Actigall to prevent stones. I just want the damn thing out. I can't keep having these attacks. They aren't very convenient and they hurt like hell!

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.

Thanks Susan. I can't bellieve how much that hurt. I didn't take pain meds after leaving the hospital after surgery, but needed a shot today.
The PCP's nurse seemed to think I would have immediate relief, but It took over an hour for the pain to subside after the shot. So I don't know if the shot made the pain finally go away, or if it went away on its own like it did the other 2 times.

I had my galbladder out in 1990 after several really bad attacks. Child birth is nothing compared to those attacks. I was soo glad to get the damn thing out. I hope you feel better soon, gallbladder problems are horrible.
