Thank you for your help, as far as scar tissue is that bad and what does scar tissue mean could it cause more serious problems?? And I defiantly will follow up with my doctor thank you so much for you're reply back

Hi!
If you were my patient, I would advise you to go ahead with the second shot, since the second one should help stabililize the lining of the uterus and stop the bleeding.

As far as the pain in your side goes, you should defintely see your doctor for follow up--if the gall bladder has been removed, you don't have further stones, but could have scar tissue
Good luck!
