Gall stones

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!
