POSTING TO THE GALLBLADDER ISSUES FROM BEFORE.
I CAN ALSO SOME WHAT RELATE TO THE ISSUES EVERYONE HAS POSTED,BUT I CAN ADD TO SOME OF THE THINGS THEY HAVE NOT EXPERIENCED YET OR MAY HAVE. I HAD MY GALLBLADDER OUT 8 YEARS AGO,AND TO BEGIN I JUST HAD MY FIRST CHILD ABOUT 2 MONTHS BEFORE THIS,AND SUDDENLY I WAS IN THE WORST PAIN OF MY LIFE,TO ME IT WAS WORSE THAN LABOR PAIN.I COULD NOT SIT STILL I COULD NOT BREATH I COULDNT DO ANYTHING BUT CRY.I WAS TAKEN TO THE ER AND GIVEN A NICE DOSE OF MORPHINE OT CONTROL THE PAIN .AND THEN WAS SENT TO A SPECIALIST THE NEXT MORNING FOR MILLIONS OF TEST.MY GALLBLADDER WAS SO BAD IT WAS DOWN TO THE POINT I MAY NEED A T-TUBE PUT IN. SO I HAD TO HAVE IT REMOVED RIGHT AWAY..ANYWAY I THOUGHT AFTER THAT PAINFUL EXPERIENCE I WOULD FINALLY FEEL BETTER,WAS I IN FOR A SUPRISE! ABOUT A YEAR LATER I STARTED TO GET REAL SICK ALOT CONSTANT RUNNING TO THE BATHROOM AND KEEPING NOTHING IN,FEELING SO TIRED I WAS TO WEAK TO GET UP.ONLY TO MAKE ME START ALL OVER AGAIN FEELING HUNGRY.WELL I FINALLY WENT TO A DOCTOR AND TOLD THEM I GOT ONCE AGAIN SENT TO A SPECIALIST WHO ENDED UP DOING A COLONOSCOPY AND A ENDOSCOPY.I HAD POLYPS,NOTHING TO SERIOUS.WELL I HAD THEM REMOVED AND STILL I WAS SICK,THEY MONITORED MY WEIGHT AND DIDNT GAIN ANY DIDNT LOOSE ANY,WEIRD,,BECUASE OF EATING AND CONSTANT BATHROOM TRIPS,IT STAYED THE SAME.WELL I FINALLY HAD ENOUGH OF COMPLAINING AND THINKING NOTHING WAS WRONG,I WENT 2 YEARS WITH JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR SAID I WAS FINE..TILL I DECIDED TO GET A SECOND OPINION. WELL ONCE AGAIN WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS COLONOSCOPY AND ENDOSCOPY,AND TO FIND OUT NO ONE I WAS SERIOUSLY SICK,I HAD COLITIS. WHICH IF LEFT UNTREATED WHICH MINE WAS,PROGRESSED INTO SERIOUS CONCERN.SO I FINALLY HAD MEDICINE TO HELP,BUT IT WAS SO FAR ADVANCED THAT THEY HAD NOTICED A HIATAL HERNIA AND IT CAUSED BARRETTS ESOPHAGUS.THE SAD PART IS I DONT THINK HAVING MY GALLBLADDER OUT DID ALL TO MUCH FOR ME,I AM WORSE OF NOW POSSIBLY.IF NOT PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF BARRETTS ESOPHAGUS MAY LEAD TO CANCER OF THE ESOPHAGUS.SO EVER SINCE I HAVE BEEN TAKEN MY MEDICINE,BUT ITS JUST LIKE CANCER ,SOME DAYS YOUR IN REMISSION AND SOME DAYS YOUR NOT.AND IT IS HARD TO LIFE A NORMAL LIFE AND FOR ANYONE TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT IS TO NOT BE ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING EVERYONE ELSE CAN,THANKS TO CONSTANT BATHROOM TRIPS AND SO FATIQUED, YOU RARELY GET TO ENJOY LIFE AS IT ONCE WAS. MY POINT IS GALLBLADDER PAIN IS REALLY BAD,BUT LIVING A LIFE OF PILLS TO FUNCTION IS JUST AS AWFUL.BUT KEEPING YOUR HEAD UP AND PRAYING BETTER DAYS ARE STILL AHEAD.

Wow, that's quite a tale! I am glad to hear that you are doing more or less well with having had your gallbladder out but it does sound like it is quite a pain. I am sorry that it has been hard for you at the same time. Thanks for all the tips and let me know how you're doing, okay? :-)
