Gall bladder

[Penny-lope]

So I have been experiencing stomach pains off and on for the last 4 months, and today I finally went to the doctors, to be told it is most likely my Gall Bladder

I have to wait 3 to 4 wks for a scan to confirm, and mean while just take painkillers when needed.

So I am just wondering, has anyone had problems with their gall bladder, and what they did to dull the pain, apart from popping pills. So far all that seems to work for me is rocking back and fore like a numpty, which is'nt very practical for work

Mates wife had this, they had a bit of a think about it then whipped her gall bladder out.
Done by keyhole surgery, but if they have trouble they reserved the option to cut her open.

While she was waiting, she was told to avoid

1. Fatty food
2. Alcohol
3. Spicy Food.

Get yourself down to Dirty Dicks next tuesday, behind rich12321 there'll be a queue of sex starved, drunken, fat, nerdy failures, all waiting to cure that for you.

I've been told to avoid nothing, as food does not seem to be making any difference. It seems to be more stress related, which made me wonder if it was actually an ulcer.

Took it out? I thought the problem was gall stones which can be laser'd?

I was told it could be either...if stones, then yes lasered. But it the gall bladder is inflamed, then it will more than likely be removed

Depends on the problem I'm told, sometimes its tablets, sometimes its somesort of highpowered sound wave thing, sometimes its surgery.

+1 on the three points above, at least until you have a proper diagnosis.
I had acute pancreatits last year caused by a stone blocking my common bile duct, and had my GB whipped out by keyhole. Took me a month or so to be "back to normal".

It is your virginity growing back


Seriously tho penny, my mum has had it, quite simple op and a bit of rest afterwards. Don't think you need to avoid anything.

[evenflow]

Maybe shorter recovery time for you, cos I had the pancreas bit as well.
Not nice, but you'll get better

Well that Mary bird, she managed to convince her other half that her hymen was still intact. Me, I'm having none of it. I reckon someone slipped her a cheeky length but her 'simple' carpenter husband somehow fell for it hook line and sinker.

Something sounds dodgy about the whole affair to me.

I am bald, I give you that but I'm not sure how i fit any of the others. Carry on thinking it if it helps you to come to terms with your lot.
