Gall stones - Page 8

I'm gonna have to have a chat with his physician. They're supposed to prescribe drugs sufficient to have him whacked out, but not so strong they put him to sleep.

Can't funny post when you're asleep. Stoopid docs!

I didn't think the earlier post was that bad.

Clearing up a bit....I even found out what most likely caused them. I found this interesting, but I"m wasted.

I have something called Gilbert's syndrome. All thi smeans is that my liver produces too much bilirubin, an enzyme that breaks down dead red blood cells after they die. Gall stones are usually from either high levels of cholesterol (mine is normal) or high levels of bilirubin.

Don't you feel enlightened?

CRAP! My last blood test showed both high cholesterol AND high bilirubin. I'm in trouble.

Just watch out for problems. Gall stone to pancreatitis is a short journey. My friend who is still hanging in there, but not improving and still on life support went from one to the other in no time flat. Very scary and VERY serious.

No: disappointed. I was looking forward to much more entertaining posts from you.

Hope you feel better soon Leo!

I am very sorry to disappiont, but compare to my other surgeries for achalsia this is cake. Except for constantly dozing off, I'm good.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Feel better, Leo.

Awww how cute! Leo is trying to be Lupe!

Glad you survived the surgery! I hope the doc got my memo to insert the liberal bone instead of the ham bone. Has anyone seen SacTown?
