I Have Gallstones
5 years ago
General
Hi guys sorry for the bad news but i have gallstones, this october im going to see a surgeon, and he would decide if he has to operate, or if we can avoid surgery.
And depending of the situation, this october probably i would be out of action for a few days, or a couple of weeks, i wonder if i could sneak a laptop to work from the hospital bed 😄

I woke up with some pretty severe pains about 2 months ago, they told me I had gallstones and kept me overnight to run some tests. Turned out I didn't need surgery, but they told me if I get another attack, I likely will. Hopefully things work out for you man, try drinking some apple juice every day, I hear that's good for them, and try your best not to eat any spicy or fatty foods...
I would go see a Gastroenterologist. I have Gallstones too, and sometimes certain foods
trigger really bad pains in the sternum. When the back feels achy, and the center of your chest throbs in pain, thats the bile building and causing pressure.
I drink apple cider or apple juice mixed with apple cider vinegar. Supposedly it helps
the bile pass.
You will get better advice from a GI then a surgeon. You only talk to a surgeon if you
are ready to do the surgery. Be sure to have all your questions ready and
know more about handling the pain, and symptoms, and what will be best.
Avoid fatty foods, and have to stick to a healthy diet from here on.
If you dont, the stones can cause more pain or get bigger.
I went to see a Cardiologist to be sure im ok having the surgery. Its so that i wont have
any complications during the anesthesia.
I bite on Tums to get rid of the stomach GERD acid. That can trigger your stones as well.
Good luck be careful, and if your skin turns yellow, rush to the ER.
Thats bile going into your body.
Rawr, ill pray for yuhz ;3.
well you dont have to go to the hospital but i would
