Yes, they did US my GB. They said it was normal. But you had a US of your GB that was normal, too? What happened between then and the need for surgery? How long did it take to get that bad? How bad was that bad??

Just trying to understand what I could be looking for.

Thanks for the support!

First, I have a high pain threshold. It took about 2 years, but between really bad to surgery, about 6 months. The only reason I ended up in emergency surgery was because I thought I was having a heart attack. I seriously could not think of what else would heart so high up and so badly, so DH took me to the ER. Sure enough my gll bladder was filled with stones and had they not removed it then, the stone would have "traveled" to other organs causing more serious complications. The doctors who saw me previously werre all great doctors and just did not listen and chalked it up to heart burn, yet I *knew* it was not heart burn, yet noone would listen and when the ultrasound came back "normal" I was basically written off.

We moved to a completely different state and DH began a new job 2 months before my surgery. Whether or not this increased the problem, I do not know. I am just glad it is out and I do not feel that way anymore.
