Important..info needed

[SweetMom]

I have had a gallstone the size of a golf ball for almost 2 yrs.I have also become nervous about having surgery again.It will be my 20th major surgery-too much scar tissue to do it the easy way.This is a very frusrtating problem,very painful.I am looking for certain info.One question I want to have answered-how do I know if it gets so serious I am in danger?
        I have an apt with a good primary care dr on jan.15,I can't get an apt any sooner.I can't even go to a specialist without his referal.

Oh SweetMom,
1st how can your Dr think it is okay for you to wait? I do not understand.
Well I can not give you advice except from my own time when my gallbladder went bad ( stones ). My Dr. made me wait too. three months till they took it out.
I know that bile reflux into your liver is bad, it hurts alot.
That is all I know about your question.
But what I did while I had to wait like yourself is eat no fat at all. Your gallbladder response to different types of foods and for me it was any form of fat. So till the Dr's. got around to removing my gallbladder I ate white rice, poach chicken breast and jello.
 
I hope this is helpful SweetMom. and take care of yourself.
Also I just look up some information, go to:  http://en.wikipedla.org/wiki/gallstone

Hi mmm,thanks for info,ill check out site.Actually I have put off surgery,trying to find a good surgeon and a primary care Dr.I must have tests run before surgery,because I also have severe crohns disease.I swear this gallstone is kicking off the crohns disease too.I do not want crohns testing,I really hate all testing as I have been given plenty of bad news already over the yrs.Anyway,I am trying not to loose my nerve,going to a primary care Dr at Cleveland Clinic,and  I just hope I don't kind of run again.I hate hospitals,and Drs and those tests.Years of experience.I really am going to try to go through what I have to about this gallstone,and crohns,arthritis,etc...
    This Dr is going to give me that look!LOL!That "why didn't you come sooner" look.

Dear SweetMom,
Don't let that look bother you. I have seen it before myself.
Good luck with the Dr. and keep us posted

The first thing I will insist this new Dr does is find out why my back hurts so bad.They need to get my pain meds right so I can stand even going for the tests I need to have.Ty mmm
