Leo, please keep taking the drugs until you feel COMPLETELY better - and keep on posting. Glad it went well.

Gall dangit that's good news.

Glad everything came out alright.

Yay, glad it went well. Recover soon!

It's been quiet on LoT, so please do take the pain meds, we could all use the entertaining distraction.

This really is a let down for you guys, I'm sure. I just have no pain at all (or very little) so I'm not needing any pain meds.

Any ISM, I wasn't even offered my gall bladder. Should I go in and demand it?

Well sh*t, there IS a downside to living in Obama's new Socialist Paradise.

Where do old gall bladders go after they are removed?

innerSpaceman · 05-18-2010, 10:24 AM

Demand it in writing, scaeagles. Paper trail.

I find the bilirubin thing interesting, only because a buildup of bilirubin is what causes jaundice in babies. UV rays help break it up, and Theo had to get some sunlight. Once I googled this to see if sun helps adults as well, it seems there's some suspicion that sun raises risk of gallstones. Weird.

Anyway - so glad things went well.

Yeah, from what I understand these gall stones aren't to be ignored. Not that you really can when they get bad. I didn't relate them, but I'd had symptoms for about 6-8 months before I ended up in the ER.

With me, the symptoms were bloatedness after eating, along with nausea, and every once in a while I'd wake up in the middle of the night and start puking.

That's how it started with me too. I originally thought that I was coming down with a stomach infection (H. Pyroli bacteria). That lasted about 4-5 months before I had my first stone attack.

Nasty nasty stuff. Definitely not something to ignore. (Like I did for so long.)
