in Jan 1998, at age 20. I was told by the surgeon that my gallbladder was "rotten" and probably not functioning since birth. Around 2006, I was having attacks again and had elevated liver enzymes. I finally saw a GI specialist who diagnosed me with sphincter
, he also cleaned out the ducts (which were all clogged again) and placed a stint for drainage. That did the trick for quite some time. It's now Sept 2010, I am 32-years old and am 23-weeks pregnant with my first child. I have had two of what I would consider gallbladder attacks in the last few months. The latest was today and lasted about 5 or 6 hours. It was exactly how I remember my gallbladder attacks 12 years ago and my Oddi attacks 4 years ago. My GI doctor thought what he preformed with the Oddi would do the trick and I wouldn't need to be back for a "tune-up" (as I asked him!), but I'm afraid that's what's going on. I'll obviously follow-up with both my OB and my GI specialist, but I just thought I'd get another opinion as well. Might this all be connected to my past issues? Did the pregnancy bring it out again? Will I have this trouble for the rest of my life? What can I do? Thank you so much for your help.
