Gall stones

[Not Afraid]

Yes, it was 6 years in April.

DP, how scary. I'm sorry you went through this.

Not to say neener-neener but just to give my own experience, any problems of this kind disappeared maybe 6 months after surgery, never to reappear.

And now to go post about bashing out my front teeth in a car crash when I was 16... Ah, memories.

Lucky duck!

Although, I notice that it's mostly triggered by heavier foods nowadays and much less frequent than it used to be, thank goodness.

Scaeagles, I really hope you don't have another attack before the surgery. You're in my thoughts!

Getting cut one week from today. YAY! It's amazing to me they can rip an organ out as an outpatient procedure, but for that I am truly thankful.

May your surgery go perfectly according to plan, and your healing be quick.

Hope it all goes well.

Start making up a story to explain those tummy scars, scaeagles. Mine involves the quicksand around Mont Saint-Michel

and Kevy Baby.

I've already got 12 others from earlier surgeries. I tried "I'm Jack Bauer" once but no one bought it.

Are you going to keep it in a jar?


Actually i just popped in here to offer my continued sympathy to you, and empathy to all others who have suffered this condition (DP, OMG!).


I'm glad your surgery is set so soon. Here's wishing you a full and speedy recovery.


But please don't forget to post lots while you're doped up!

[scaeagles]

I'm not sure if they will actually give it to me. I'm not sure I would keep it in a jar even if they did. Sounds creepy. Anyway, thanks. Maybe I'll try to post when I get home (it's outpatient, so I can post the same day! Won't tht be fun!).
