just got home from the ER

[J-rod]

i have been having really bad stomach pains for a week straight now...it hurts really bad and eating is very painful as well. so we did some looking on webmd and decided it is time to go see a dr NOW. so steph made me go

after 4 hours in the ER and multiple blood and tests later...i have something wrong with my gall bladder. i am being scheduled for an ultrasound to determine if i need surgery or not.

so right now im on a total crap diet...no fats, and skim milk products until after the ultrasound.

I had my gallbladder out. I had a huge stone (3 cm) and it was best to take out the whole gallbladder before the stone got stuck. I have very minimal problems with eating, as compared to before surgery, i.e. sugary stuff either makes my stomach upset or goes right through me. I love hot spicy food and I can still eat it, but sometimes I do get a little sick from it, depending on what it is. Other than small things like that, I'm fine.

My friend had her's out one month before me and she still can't eat right. She has basically become a vegetarian because of it.

Weird how different we are through the same surgery.


Good luck!!
