Gallbladder Message of Hope Posted: 08-06-06 14:20pm
Hi, this is for all of you out there that
are living with gallstones and wondering
if your life is ever going to get any
better.
I suffered with severe pains caused by
gallstones for years. For those of you
that have had attacks you will know what I
mean when I say it was the worst pain
ever. It was like having a heart attack
withouth the relief of death and it would
last for up to 12 hours. And nothing took
the pain away.
I was misdiagnosed with acid reflux and
without boring you manyyears later it was
eventually discovered that I had gall
stones and I had the operation to have the
gallbladder removed.
I was nervous about it and I was scared
going into the operation and about what
would happen afterwards.
Most people, you see, who recover from
this never come back to a board to tell
people that it's going to be okay. So you
only ever read about all the bad stuff
that's happened.
So, let me say. I dont suffer from the
runs, I dont have any more pain, I eat
whatever I want, I can drink alcohol, and
in short I have my life back again without
any pains. And it's great.
So, I recommend if you have gallstones and
your in any sort of pain get the
gallbladder removed because it will just
get worse and worse.
And dont focus on all the bad things you
hear might happen as a result of having it
out. Life is great without it for me.
And it will be for you too.
So, I wish you all a speedy recovery. And
enjoy eating chocolate again when you
do.
Love to you all.
Michael

I am glad you got your life back after
your galbladder surgery!
I can laugh about it now but after I had
my surgery, I walked up to the nurses
station, pretty loaded aand asked when my
surgery was and said that they were late ,
fell down and busted some stitches out,
had to go back and get the stitches s put
back in, this was years ago! After that I
felt a little better but knew something
was not right, justthought it was part of
the healing but I got worse and worse so
they took an x-ray an found out that thy
had left a surgery tool in me so back to
surgery I went. I still have a difficult
time eating certain things such as spicy
or acidy foods which some do after the
surgery, now I have other medical problems
but it is not related to that though. I
am glad that they figured out what was
finally wrong with you, sometimes these
dr's upset me but I guess it goes to show
that they are only human!
All the best!
