Hey guys. I know im not much of a Poster around here, but I figured I'd let 'yall know.
Went to the doctor today for 8 Hours. Had serious stomach pain. Well, I had blood taken, IV, all that good stuff. Turns out I have 100+ Gal Stones in my Galblader.
So, Fun surgery next Monday. Wish me Luck :-|
aw dude, that sucks. I hope your surgery is quick and relatively painless.
Ouchalicious! I hope you recover quickly!
Thanks for the support guys. ^_^
Its really minor surgery, they say. I just go in, they knock me out, Poke four little holes in me and Pull it out. About a 45 minute procedure, but its still surgery, so Im still nervous...
The main thing im worried about is that my galblader ( not really sure If I've been spelling that right) might burst between then. -Shrug-
eek!
i wish you an uneventful surgery and speedy recovery (and fun little pills afterwards :wink: )
Good luck with your surgery - everything will go fine. No worries! :D
My mommy had that done. You will feel much much better after it's all over. Good luck.
And if you do begin to get worse...go right to the emergency room...cause my mom's almost burst before her surgery and it could have been alot worse than it turned out to be...(sorry had to add that in)
hey, you know they can take your gallbladder out if they want it and doesn't matter? You don't really need it apparently. It's just useful to have.Quote:

it's all to do with your liver which produces bile. there are two channels from your liver, one into the large intestine,and one into the gall bladder. The one going into your large intestine, i think it uses the bile to help the nutrition come out of your food. the one going to your gall bladder, i think thats what's left over, which can't be a lot if you can live without it...
yeah the gallbladder just regulates the flow of bile to the intestine. Without one, your digestive system is less efficient of course, but I don't think anyone with a computer is in danger of starving so who the hell cares? with luck maybe you won't absorb as much of the lipids in your food!
yeah that's basically it, worst case without a galbladder is you have to take enzyme suppliments to help breakdown fats so you can digest themQuote:

but like nina said, if the pains get worse, it IS an emergency for gross reasons I won't get into here :shock:
