I don't post much but do watch the board on a daily basis and notice the great advice given.
Anyways... I've been under the whether the past week with abdominal pains and side pains. I ended up working for 30 mins last Thursday due to what I now know was a gallbladder attack. Everything was fine until Saturday night when I was staying at a friend's house an hour from home. Needless to say, after the rabbit show on Sunday I found myself in the ER. After blood tests and xrays, they 'determined' that I had Acid Reflux and a Peptic Ulcer. My pains were getting worse so I got an appointment with my new doctor on Tuesday. An xray was done then and today was an ultrasound and got the results back today . Gallstones.
So I am waiting now for a referral to a surgeon which will be sent on Monday.
My biggest thing is that gallbladder attacks normally keep coming back and at age 22, do I really want to deal with this pain off and on for my remaining time?
If it were you, if given the option... would you have the gallbladder removed?
