I think if the stones were in the common bile duct threatening pancreatitis or liver issues UIC would have had me come in sooner. I'll find out more next week after my appointment.<br /><br />Thanks.parrotletzoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13782587755946359623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066182423572909826.post-90213123519862333682009-08-03T20:08:14.495-04:002009-08-03T20:08:14.495-04:00How did they find out it was gallstones from labwo...How did they find out it was gallstones from labwork?!<br /><br />I had my gallbladder removed in April, and my gallstones were diagnosed by ultrasound. <br /><br />I've read that gallstones are asymptomatic but present in the majority of elderly people. There's only a reason to actually do something about it if: there's pain, there's a threat of it bursting (causing infection), or it's messing with other organs.<br />In my case, it was all three.<br /><br />The surgery was no fun but it is much much much more tame than transplant type surgeries.Jonahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961973384914389626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3066182423572909826.post-5803751833647893732009-08-03T06:21:27.060-04:002009-08-03T06:21:27.060-04:00i am very sorry to hear this..gall stones are pain...i am very sorry to hear this..gall stones are painful,i had my gallbladder removed a year before i was diagnosed with diabetes...and as yyou did i ate every ant-acid insite until nothing was working anymore...hope all goes well..jenniferjennifernoreply@blogger.com
