thank you zoo baw… me too.. :) i have had plenty removed… lol… just feel like telling them.. listen.. anything else i dont need.. take it now… lmfao..
Aw sorry, I thin Im too young to have stuff removed, but I hope you get better.
i don’t understand your Doctor .The hospital should have kept you there and if was life threatening they should have operated.Tablets will not help .Shie get another opinion..
My mom had her gallbladder removed years ago. I don’t remember much about it, but she’s been fine ever since. It seems to me that it’s actually fairly common among mothers to have it removed. I’ve never seen any studies making that link, but I have noticed just in my family and friends that only women I know have had their gallbladders removed and the same women have had other surgeries related to childbirth such as bladder re-attachment and hysterectomies..
Shie! oh dear! i’m sorry you are ill. :( i hope things will go better. Your doctor (i hope) can trace all your medical history and see why you are from one pain to another. Hugs!

you are right.. but… they did all sorts of testing and such… no gallstones at all… what is happening is, it just isnt working properly.. so i have to have more tests on monday in which they test the gallbladder and such with some sort of medication to make it extract and what ever i guess… lol.. the tablets are for the pain that im having at the moment.. but they dont want to operate until they know exactly what is going on with it..

yup, my mother had hers removed many years ago.. but by the time i got home, it was too late to call her to find out about it… also, my sister actually has to go in 2 weeks to have hers removed as well…
as for other surgeries.. yes, i actually had a hysterectomy 1 1/2 years ago due to fibroids and also had to have my bladder re attached or put in a hammock is what they call it as well… how weird…
Life isnt fair, I’m sorry Shie *hug*
I hope things get better for you.

i have so many dr’s now a days its not even funny… one regular dr, one for my intestinal issues, one for my spine, one for my tumor, one for my pain management.. its crazy… its not like the old days where one dr did everything… and now, one for this… to me, i find it a big waste of time.. but i guess that is how drs are now a days.. so many specialists for this and that…. probably make a special dr for a friggin hang nail.. who knows… lmfao..

thank you bogdan… me too… the good thing about this surgery will be that its right in my home town… meaning, roger can visit me this time.. rather than having to run and leave me at the hospital due to his job… so that makes me a bit happier..
well, i just had to gripe… thanks for listening to me… as for me… im heading off to bed.. roger is downloading something and its making my computer extremely slow… took me like 2 minutes for that last reply to come up… but anyways.. im going to head off to bed and try to rest a little, havent slept really in a few days now… but ill be back on later… many hugs to you all for caring… love shie.. nighty night..
((((HUGS))) I sure hope you get to feeling better soon. Seems like you have been given some bad luck over the years health wise. Thank goodness it never has affected your sense of humor. You can always make me laugh lol.. Get well soon :)
Take my dear, see you later when you get up! nuh night! :)
I’m sorry to hear that Shie..geez. I don’t blame you for being upset, seems like one thing after another for you. Have a good rest, sending you healing and hugs. :)

The one thing that aggravates the gallbladder is drinking. Alcohol for some reason brings on an attack. I would carefully considered getting the operation because some people are helped with an operation and some are not. Most people go ahead with the operation because the pain is unbearable. So until you can see your doctor “don’t drink”.
you will be fine, these doctors go through seven years of university and training, they know what they are doing. yours is a routine operation. they have taken tests and sent you home because it is not life threatening, when the tests come back they will determine the best course of treatment which will be pills or surgery, whichever the doctor prescribes will be the best for you.. i hope you get better soon, but don’t worry your in the hands of dedicated professionals.
I understand your ability to block out pain. I do that too, but with your medical history I think that you should never ever do that again. If you are in pain go directly to hospital, do not pass go do not collect $200.
It could of been something majorly life threatening.
I hope you feel better soon. My prayers are with you.

thank you seas… and yes… some rough luck lately with the health thing… as for my sense of humor, i find that being funny is what i have to do… other wise, i would be the most miserable person in the world… and i have met a few of those kind of people in life and i just dont like them…. lmfao…

thank you lilies… finally got to bed about 5 am this morning or so… got up at 10am with rog…. so came here while smoking a cig and drinking some hot cocoa… then im off to bed again… tummy is a little sore, feels a bit hard and kind of heavy feeling… weird… but i have a major headache starting but that is due to being tired… not taking any tylenol for the headache just yet because of the stomach thing… i have a pain pill for it that i might have to take soon, not sure how im going to feel after drinking a little bit… so holding off on that…

well, im not much of a drinker… shoot, the last time i drank was new years eve and then in june for rog’s birthday… so i guess that is a good thing huh?
that is just my luck… same with my neck surgery… 50/50 chance of it being worse than before surgery and with me i got the -50% and am worse now than before…
as for the pain… it is like someone taking a knife and stabbing me over and over for like a minute straight… then it goes away and comes back… a couple of minutes later… its definitely not something that i can live with…
*hugs*
What do you mean by gall bladder attacks?
Do you mean like a heart attack (where the coronary blood vessels become blocked, depriving the heart of blood)
or do you mean gall stones?
My mum had her gall bladder removed because of gall stones…
She was fine after the operation
She copes quite well with operations, I’m assuming you do too
Don’t eat lots of fatty foods, whole milk or anything like that - without your gall bladder being able to store bile, you can only use as much as you can produce with your liver

that is what is making me feel a little better… it being a routine operation… something that is done basically daily… so thank you for reminding me of that… that helps a lot…

yes… people look at me and cant even tell that im in pain most of the time unless i complain about it… because its ‘normal for me’… the pain scale that the doctors give you for pain, from 1 to 10… im always a 6.. ALWAYS…. but to look at me, no one can tell because i have been able to adjust to it.. its when i hit a 10, people know… i have never been able to complain about pain my entire life… with my parents or the ex husband… so its just normal for me to not complain……. but with this pain, it was just way too much to hold in… and finally had to get some sort of opinion from a doctor… :) but i would still like to collect that $200…. ill just take a short cut next time… lmfao..

well, i dont have gall stones… that has been ruled out… but my gallbladder isnt working right.. it doesnt contract and what ever it is suppose to do when you eat or drink… in fact, i have no idea what its really for… just know it isnt working right…. it feels like someone is stabbing me… lasting a minute or so… and then coming every couple of minutes… yes, i do well with surgeries.. infact, with my neck surgery and my hysterectomy, i came home and was doing house work… not having to take any pain meds at all… yeah, i was sore… but again, that is all normal for me to be in some kind of pain… as for fatty foods.. hehehehehehe yes, i eat hamburg and stuff.. as for milk, no.. im lactose intolerant and dont like the taste milk anyways.. …
oh boy, liver not too good either… lmfao… from all the tylenol that i have taken over the years.. i have high enzymes from it.. that is why i have an appointment with a pain management dr next month… to get something that i can take for my migraines that i get daily.. but even with that.. i only take medication when i just cant deal anymore..
Oh right.
But either way, your gall bladder = kaput.
The gall bladder stores bile, and releases it into the gastrointestinal tract (I think the stomach) when needed.
The liver makes bile, which contains enzymes that digest specific chemicals, and I’m pretty sure one of them is fat.
But the tylenol may be making up for the lack of enzymes being produced by your kaput liver - but even so, without a gall bladder, your body can store very little bile, meaning you would have a small amount of bile constantly being released…When you eat a fatty meal, if your gall bladder was working, your gall bladder would empty itself into your stomach, releasing more bile than you can produce immediately to aid fat digestion
My mum can’t eat whipped cream I think it is because of the high fat content
I’m sorry to hear of your pain dear. Nothing worse that a gallbladder attack on Thanksgiving (or there abouts) I pledged to stay out of emergency this year! Although all day on Thursday I felt like I was having a heart attack… well I felt like I was having an anxiety attack which can feel very much like a heart attack. Anyway… I hope the morphine and such work for you - I’m sure it will morphine is ‘da bomb’ when it comes to pain killers. I hope you’re feeling better soon.
There is outpatient surgery now done with a minimumal amount of invasive surgery. You could be going home the same day. They make three small incisions about 1/2 inch and use microscopic surgical instruments to remove the gallbladder. Some people have even gone to work the next day, although I don’t recommend it.
Ursodial is the medication that people take to disolve the gall stones.
There is also alcohol in so many of the cough syrups and cough medicines. That too will aggravate the gall bladder.
Yes, I had my gallbladder removed last year. I had twice an attack and the last one was so severe, they didn’t let me go home. For 5 weeks they gave me IV liquid food, no solid food or drink and the 6th day I had the surgery. The next day they let me go home. I was recovering at home for a month. After that, I felt better but I had to change my diet. Before I ate lots of spicy food, I am not a drinker, now everything has to be boiled or grilled. You will feel much better after it is removed. Let me know what happened.
What I meant was for 5 days not weeks. Sorry.
ooohh im am so sorry shie. =(
Girl you’ve to to lay off that ol soda, have you ever soaked a penny in a cup of Coke and seen how bright and sparkly it comes out ? it tells you right there the acid in it also eats away at your inner workings. Many drink it but the bottom line is, its a great way of gaining weight, bunches of empty calories, and no good to you at all.
My friend had her gall bladder removed, they do it now by keyhole surgery and the recovery is fairly quick, not half as bad as it used to be. I think she was back on her feet in just over a week after the op.Prevention babe, its all about prevention :-) I hope you get to feeling better soon, Im going to come there with my fly swat, and every time you reach for the Pepsi I’m gonna swat yer hands :P lol. xxxxx be well hon )))))hugs. x

Hello Shie,
Sorry to hear you are not well, I hope you feel better after the surgery, looking forward to more posts from you!
omg im so sorry shie. i feel like crying, but i cant… thats horrible.. i bruised some rib cartiledge once, and until i went to the doctor, everyone thought i had gall bladder problems :).. thats not quite the same though..
Hiya hun, i’m sorry to hear about it but I am so dam happy you finally went to the ER. Seriously you don’t go enough lol.
My nan had hers out and she found that she got a bad stomach if she ate spicy food but apart from that its not effected her. She says she gets acid or indegestion a few times and she didn’t before. But antacids usually fix it.#

ohhh so sorry to hear that you were having a hard time on thursday…. big hugs!! yeah, the morphine worked when i had it at the hospital, however they have my on hydro’s… 7.5s… they work ok… but still leaves that little trace of the pain so it is telling me hahaha.. im still here kind of thing… im doing better though… since taking the antibiotics they gave me, the pain isnt as severe of course, i havent really eaten either…. but i make sure i take the pain meds at night so i can make sure i can sleep..

thank you… as for ursodial, i dont have gallstones… i guess it is just not working… it went on strike… lol.. as for the surgery, im afraid of surgery… have had so many already, this is a wussy surgery compared to others that i have had… yeah, im a strong person when it comes to pain.. had screws and a plate put into my neck and came home and cleaned the house… even though i wasnt suppose too… lol.. but i felt fine.. even with out pain killers… as i hate taking them and would rather suffer as long as i can deal.
as with cough syrups, i dont take those either.. really hate all kinds of meds..

yeah, the hospital gave me an iv and all this other stuff for antibiotics and such…
i know that i have had issues with my gallbladder for years now… and was suppose to have a hida scan a long time ago.. however… i didnt go… but this time im hurting really badly.. and had to go… as for eating.. yeah, not doing much of that lately…. 1/2 hour after eating… i hurt… so i figured if i nibble a little here and little there… i should be ok.. ill let you all know how i make out with all these testings and surgery when ever that is set.

hahahahaha, yes.. finally went to the ER after 2 days of dealing with the intense pain… im so friggin stubborn.. but usually i can handle pain… deal quite well… this just got way too bad even for me to handle… so i had to go..
as for antacids, i actually have GERD, gastrophical reflux disease.. its where the flap in your stomach doesnt close like it should… so i already take medicine for that… so i should be ok.. thanks.
i know right now.. i can hardly eat anything… yesterday i had like 3 bites of turkey, a couple bites of potatoes and a couple of green beans.. i was full… weird cuz the last time i ate before that was the previous day (24 hours earlier) and with in 1/2 hour… i was hurting like crazy..
my stomach is huge… like it is blown way out of proportion.. and its hard… i have an antibiotic that im taking and since taking it, it has gone down a lot but is still very out of shape… i have a hida scan set up for friday at 10am… that is to check my gallbladder and give the doctors an ok to remove it… just sucks cuz i have to wait until that testing is done before i can be pain free… ill keep you all updated.. thanks for caring guys… love shie.
Hey Shie. I’m so sorry that you are feeling too good. I only wish I had some advice to give you, but I haven’t. I really do hope that your doctor manages to find something to make your life easier.
Take care Shie (hugs)
Awgh
You should go to aroma, it’s a chain of Chinese all you can eat buffets
Honestly go there and you WILL eat it’ll be like you’ll have a nibble of something and be like RAWR and try to eat the whole place lol
Your stomach is huge? Do you mean like the little African kids who can’t afford food?

yeah, i know… but i eat… not a lot.. rog actually has a fit cuz i pick like a bird.. basically i hate food and am a survivor of anorexia so i dont eat much.. but i do eat enough to keep me living.. the swelling in my tummy must be from the bacteria inside because i have been taking the antibiotics and the swelling has gone down a little bit but its still there… i have my scan set for friday and will know more then on what they are going to do…
WELL, i have my Hida Scan tomorrow.. its some sort of scan in which im going to have to drink a bunch of icky crap and they are going to be able to see how my gallbladder is working…
my tummy isnt hurting as bad as it was… im not doubled over anymore.. i think the antibiotics have kicked butt on any infection that might have occurred… im still a little tendor and have a pinching feeling where my gallbladder is… but its dealable.. i will let ya all know what happens when i get my results… hugs, shie.
yes Shie i think antibiotics did the trick .Some one told me it takes almost 2weeks to make the antibiotics to work.Well if they work you only had some sort of an infected Gallbladder. HOPE it is!!! Take care .
infected gallbladder… i hope that doesnt mean that when i go for my scan today it is going to show its ok… cuz that will make me kind of mad.. because i want a definite answer to that pain… well, ill let you know what i find out when i get an answer.. hugs.
WELL… i went for my hida scan today… all i can say is that IM NOT HAPPY at all!!
when i got there, i was told that they had to give me an IV… well, on saturday when i went to the hospital with my pain, the lady giving me an IV was putting the needle in and out in and out.. and i was ready to slap her… cuz it hurt!! so i told the dr today.. you have one chance to put it in.. no putting it in and out.. you go to put it in.. you push it in.. no playing around… well, the dr did great.. didnt even feel it really… i think he was a bit worried.. lol. cuz i was serious about it lol..
well, i had to be given some sort of ‘crystals’ put into my blood stream that went directly to my gallbladder… i was in an open mri in which i could see the screen and i have to say, it was quite neat… i could see little by little, my gallbladder filling up with these crystals and glowing…
after laying there for an hour and a half, basically falling to sleep, the dr had to come give me yet another dose of something to make my gallbladder work… he told me that i wont feel anything.. but if i did, i could feel a little sick or i could feel just a little bit of pain in my tummy like i had on sunday… but it would only last just a few minutes… not happy about this, i said.. ok… lets do it and get it over with..
well, with in a few minutes of getting the med.. i felt it… i felt sicker than a dog… and the pain in my stomach was horrible… not as bad as it was last week.. but it was still hurting… he then told me it will only last just a couple of minutes… i said, ok..
after about ten minutes… there i layed on the table… the sickness was gone.. but the pain.. still there…
he then replied that the pain should have gone away already… i told him.. well.. it didnt, its still here…
he then proceeded to tell me that the only reason that would be is if there is some malformation in my gallbladder…
i went home after all tests were done and there i layed on the couch in pain.. AGAIN… this is horrible.. its not as bad as last week, but its still there… im hoping that it will be gone by tomorrow.. and i dont go back into some sort of attack again…
i will be getting my results on monday… so i will let you know what happens or what is going to happen..
i think its the stuff they gave you,if you had a gallbladder attack you be screaming. AI hope that was it.just have to waitagain.feel sorry for you but6 at least you’ll know..
Well done for enduring the pain, it’s just part of the diagnosis process - if this didn’t happen you would probably have to sustain much more accumulated pain
shie if they tell you to take your gallbladder out, don’t hesitate, let them. Believe me, without it you would feel much better. Been there, done that. Talking from experience. I will be thinking about you and you will be in my prayers too.

hhhmmm, ill have to think about that… tough not rough…. doesnt sound like me… lmfao… i think… rough not tough… hahahahahahaha.. joking..
anyways, got some more bad news today… NEVER ENDING!
my scan for my gallbladder came back… showed nothing… so WHY the pain?? no one knows… hhhmmm… so now what?? i know im not imagining it… its real pain.
now for the real kicker.. went to the drs for my migraines… after having my surgery, the migraines feel SOOOOOOOOOO much worse than ever… even keeping me in bed… so i saw a specialist today for it.
his findings…. something major is going on with me. my eyes are not dialating and my migraines are not migraines… he said that migraines dont last weeks at a time…. he is now thinking there is something wrong with my brain… i go for a brain scan on the 24th of december…
GREAT… now what? ~sigh~
Never give up hope shie, you are a fighter. Just tell the doc’s on the 24th, “Merry Christmas”. I will light a candle for you in my church that day and will pray for your healing.

i have to giggle a little bit… about the ‘i die, you die’ comment. you are absolutely right!!! i absolutely love your music and listened to it yesterday… cried my little eyes out for a little bit and then took a nap.
as for my kids… my mother is in contact with the people who care for my children. i actually begged her today to talk to these people. let them know what im dealing with.. and that for my own needs … i need my children home!! i think that with THAT stress done with, i can then work on my health…. but until that gets settled… im in limbo… know what i mean? so we will see what happens from here..
I had several gall bladder attacks about thirteen years ago, and finally had one that I couldn’t stand any more. I went to the doctor’s office after work, was admitted to the hospital on an emergency basis, and spent a week attached to an IV because my gall bladder was too inflamed for the surgery. The surgery itself only involved small incisions, and the pain afterward was not as bad as having a gall bladder attack. The incisions now would be much smaller and might even be done through very tiny openings. I would say, “Go for it.” It only gets worse the more you put it off.
thank you azin…
as for surgeries, im not afraid of them anymore… infact, just had screws and a plate put into my neck back in june and i came home from the hospital, didnt have to take any pain meds and was picking up the house and doing dishes… i hide my pain very well… and sometimes i think pain is so normal for me now that i dont even feel it anymore like normal people would… my boyfriend had to keep ‘yelling’ at me to sit down and relax… lmfao…
