Well I was disappointed to learn the source of my tummy cramps is gallstones and the gallbladder has gotta come out. I have been having some cramps for a few weeks and was ordered an ultrasound. I spoke to my surgeon today and tada !!!! I am very glad thats all it is and not something worse. Its not my bowels or something crazy like that. But I cannot fathom having surgery again....and back to Toronto I go for it...however I know its best and the pain will be gone after they take the sucker out. Its just kinda depressing to think I am gonna be back on the table again shortly.

I found gallbladder removal to be MUCH less painful than rny and a much easier recovery. You will be feeling totally great like a week post-op. Good luck!!!

Glad you know what's been bothering you. I would feel the same way about having surgery again. Especially so soon, but you will feel so much better and its a good thing they figured it out right away. Hopefully they can get you in soon so u don't have pain for too long
