Yep outpatient. They do it liproscoptic. I had to stay late up in the night after my surgery though, because I do not do well with anesthesia. It all makes me very sick. But as far as the surgery and pain after my surgery is was not bad at all.

Thanks KDW and you are correct. I had another episode Sunday night and stayed in bed Monday, so hubby made me go to the Dr. yesterday. Right now I'm waiting on results from several blood tests. He thinks I may have had a pancreatitis attack in conjuction with the gallbladder attack. I've had fever and everything. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound of my gallbladder and he said we'll go from there on what to do. :shock: I don't want to go under the knife but I will if it means that pain will go away and never come back

Sorry to hear of your attack. I have been nauseated for about 2 months...not preggers! I had the ultrasound for my gall bladder done and did not have stones....I had a hydrascan done and it showed my gall bladder to be low functioning and questionable, so I have an appt with a surgeon on Wed. Hopefully your doc will continue tests until it is resolved.
My father-in-law was extremely sick with pancreatis ,so I hope it does not show up again. The thought of surgery is a little scary.

Ok, now what do y'all think

Great trip report BC. I can't wait to write mine. I think I can tell you what the stomache issue was. If you still have your gallbladder, it was a gallbladder attack. It happened to me. I thought I was dying. Went to the doctor the next day, and discoverd I had many gallstones. Took my gallbladder out, and I haven't had any trouble since. You might want to go the doc just to let him check you out. Since it happened right after a big greasy meal, you can bet that is what is was...Glad you had a great time at the beach!!!!!

Fast forward 9 months. 2/07 Nausea has come back this month. The ultrasound showed nothing last year and I never had the PIPIDA scan because I felt better. Mr. BC made me have it this time and the results show that my gallbladder is functioning normally. I have an appointment Monday and in the mean time he wants me to take Flagyl. Isn't this what Miss Kitty took after the cruise? What happened with yours IWIWT? Did you go to the surgeons appointment last year?

BC, Flagyl is a strong antibiotic, so read the insert carefully.
I had a rare reaction to it last year of tingling in my hands and feet. I had to go off it immediately.

I wonder if it affects birth control

Thanks for the info, I hope you didn't have any lasting problems????

Usually they do so you better take some extra precautions! Although I think a little BC would be adorable.

No, it dissipated after a week or so, thankfully, because I stopped it taking it quick enough. It started about 6-7 days into it, and it got rid of my bug.
