Oh the pain!!! It started the Friday before Thanksgiving - I thought it was acid reflux because it was the same pain I had back in July/Aug that prilosec took care of (stomach burning/cramping). After a few days the pain changed and I would hurt every time I ate. It all came to a head Wednesday before Thanksgiving when I was on vacation in Florida and ate dinner at one of my favorite resturants... a little after eating I was in the parking lot feeling like I was going to die - cramping, sweating, dry heaving (started about 15-30mins after eating, lasting 45-60mins).... called the on-call Dr at my surgeons office and he thought I had an ulcer - said to up the prilosec (I had started taking it again Friday) and eat soft mushy foods - yeah buddy that would work GREAT while I was on vacation. I did the best I could. I found that chewing my food really well and drinking while eating (yes I know its a no-no) helped me from hurting so much and it was bareable. Last night I ate a little ice cream and I felt like I did Wednesday - completely horrible! Called the surgeon first thing, they saw me, sent me to the hospital for testing.... and guess what? Its my freaking gall bladder *#($)#@*$)(#*$)(#*$  going to find out tomorrow when I will be scheduled for surgery *sigh*

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
