I can't beleive you are in so much pain...call your own doctor first thing tomorrow..monday and tell them exactly what is going on!! Pain is a signal that something is wrong..you do not need to suffer..anyway, yes. my anxiety is up there...can't seem to get passed it no matter what..maybe i am not trying hard enough..I am going to try and think positive and focus on the positive..hopefully something positive will come out of this..enough about me now....please get in touch with your doctor and demand to be seen and heard!! keep me posted..I am thinking of you...

Hello,how are you? keep up thinking postive! I know its hard,I'm trying to do same thing but when your hit with so many things at once it isnt easy..but things will be ok...God is looking over us (:
    Well I went to er fri, er dr was all for having gallbladder surgery that night but surgeon refused saying it was not "emergency" basis.I believe I'm in serious trouble with bile  duct blockage but because I dont have typical symptoms I'm being blown off as I was with appendix and my instinct on that was right on,luckily with appendicitis I got to hospital in time it almost ruptured!!! I'am running a fever/chills and pain is unbearable right now.Hospital just sent me home with pain pills..I cant believe it! Tomorrow (tues) I do have appt with surgeon so hopefully I will have it out soon.The thought of another surgery is scaring me making me anxious but I know I will feel much better when it is out !! after I heal from that I have gyno laparscopy to look at ovaries/cysts so I'm still anxious over that and worried.
     When is your surgery? just keep on reminding yourself soon this will be over with ! your in my thoughts and prayers,keep me posted!

This Friday I have to meet with the gallbladder surgeon they want to take it out at the same time. I hope you feel better and keep me posted.

To: gma718,surgeon refused surgery!!!!
Hi there!  how are you doing? after your surgery you will feel sooooo much better after you heal!!  the surgeon refused to take out gallbladder until I have further tests,I dont get it.He wants to be sure it is my gallbladder ( I have ALOT of stones),I dont know what else it could be.He claims just because I have stones dont mean it is source of pain or that gallbladder is diseased.I dont agree.I have had colonscopy,endoscopy,hida scan (gallbladder empty/filled slowly) laparscopy,barium x ray studies with normal results but hida scan was slow ,had all this done in april-aug 2006.Dont make sense to repeat it.Daily constant pain is just awful.
   Now I'm getting paranoid if it is something else and ovc is still in back of my mind ,I only had the ca125 test which was 4 but from what I understand ca125 isnt accurate enough.Now I'm freaking out all over again!
               Keep me posted on how your doing,your in my thoughts and prayers,
            Stephanie

I can not beleive how they are making you are suffer...maybe consider finding  another doctor??? I cant understand that this is going on for so long..Why should you suffer and be in pain for so long? Today I am going for a consult for my gallbladder and also my pre-testing. I am getting more anxious. Maybe you should talk to your primary doctor or find someone that is going to listen to you. I hope you are feeling well or at least a little better. Sometimes we have to be our own doctors. please keep me posted. :)
