GALL STONES
VSG on 02/15/12


Oh honey, I SO understand how you feel. A gall stone attack is horrid! I actually had a similar situation at work. The most horrible pain and then I had to run outside because I was projectile vomiting! I already had my gallbladder out and boy do I feel better! Your surgeon may be able to do both at once, as another poster said. The gallbladder is right there where they're working, so it's not hard to get to if your surgeon is experienced with it. Good luck t oyou!
In the meantime, if you have another gallstone attack, try drinking some apple cider vinegar. The vinegar stimulates the liver to release more bile and that can sometimes alleviate the pain if the gallstone is stuck. It helped me while I was waiting for surgery.

another thing you can do along with the apple cider vinegar is boil a tablespoon of flax seeds, i was having a wicked gall bladder attack one night and found that remedy on the net, by the time i finished my drink the pain was gone! it's awesome.
hope you feel better! & defo get it taken out when you get surgery, kill two birds with one stone. i will ask to get mine taken out when i go for vsg. i dont want two surgeries.
