Since I didn't go to bed until about 4:30 this morning (didn't actually get to sleep until after 5:30) and Walt gets up early, he read your comments before I did.<br /><br />Your comments plus the pain I was in last night, made him decide to call our Doctor and make an appointment this morning for tomorrow afternoon! So I will be seen tomorrow. I will definitely let you know if it was indeed the GB or not!!<br /><br />Thank you for your quick response to my questions! Our blogging community is the best!<br /><br />DebiDebihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09992977491095091038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060129031400488769.post-10750132773385652252010-06-28T08:57:54.363-07:002010-06-28T08:57:54.363-07:00I had the same symptoms on Christmas Day last wint...I had the same symptoms on Christmas Day last winter. I had to leave our friends home before dinner was served because the pain was so intense. I didn't try to take anything for it because I knew whatever it was, it wasn't something to take lightly. I went to the emergency room of our local hospital. They took me right in and took a CATScan and then the ultrasound. They gave me morphine for the pain and that only lessened it a bit. They kept me there and the next morning I had my gallbladder removed. I think I am the only one in my family to have had this problem but the surgery was a piece of cake and I recovered quickly. Good luck and keep us updated on your progress.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08375261990811647256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060129031400488769.post-49856959878698741442010-06-28T08:54:41.296-07:002010-06-28T08:54:41.296-07:00I had one bout of gb pain and that was more than e...I had one bout of gb pain and that was more than enough for me. I was thrilled that my surgeon could get me in just two days post attack (attack on Tuesday p.m., surgery Thursday a.m.). I was not having another one of those.<br /><br />Yes, that sounds like gb to me!<br /><br />Take care of yourself!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10000853817685155586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060129031400488769.post-7264117137744408742010-06-28T06:21:50.471-07:002010-06-28T06:21:50.471-07:00I have to say, having had surgery many years ago ...I have to say, having had surgery many years ago to have my gall bladder out(years before I was banded,) it does sound suspect. So sorry Deb if it is your GB. I still remember the waves of pain - terrible, and they would radiate into my back, lasting for hours.. Get into the doc asap.. seriously, don't muck around with it. xxxTHE DASH!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08658679261310931377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060129031400488769.post-57394291382673255702010-06-28T06:08:50.403-07:002010-06-28T06:08:50.403-07:00Yep, sounds like GB...get in for the ultrasound/pi...Yep, sounds like GB...get in for the ultrasound/pic thing as they can see the stones/sludge easily and determine if this is it. Don't wait...if you need Vicodin then you could have stones moving through the bile duct...if that gets 'clogged' you can cause all kinds of problems...you don't want this to turn into Pancreatitis (sp?) as that would be much worse to treat. Call now...please ;-)Lap Band Groupiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740522137574702726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2060129031400488769.post-75098257109452467912010-06-28T05:42:59.860-07:002010-06-28T05:42:59.860-07:00I would see a doctor.

Pain should never be left unattended. Keep us up to date how you are?<br />CarolineLonicerahttp://lonicera53.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
