Hello,
My name is Kattie . I am 39 years old. All my life , I have been prone to gas . However, over the last year I have had stamach problems. Including, burning, pressure , bloating, some pain on right side, pain in middle of abdomen upper region. My primary had me on nexium, which seemed to help some. I have since switched doctors and have noticed the discomfort more.
Over the last month i have had a lot of the above symptoms which continue. Weeks ago , I had ate a fresh peach and set of an attack that lasted for 9 days of fullness, nausea, bloating, could not eat, could not sleep. , the pain radiated to my upper back. I went to the intenist and she ordered a abdominal cat scan. It showed i had slight thickening of the gallbladder wall. She then ordered a hida scan. After 4 hours it can back WITH NO GALLBLADDER SEEN. My physician call me that evenign and said i had acute choleosystitis . She was suprised i had no had any vomiting, or fever and imediately put me on antibotics for 14 days. After the hida scan i did eat and was extremely sick with nausea reall bad. It lasted for 2 hours and then it was gone. I contributed it to nto eating until 3:00 pm. I eat very early.
My internist acted like i was in bad shape. Of course, my surgeon appt was scheduled three weeks later.
I seen the surgeon on Tuesday and told him all my symptons and after review of my History and Physical and the hida scan , he determined the gallbladder should probaly come out . I am scheduled for surgery in a week.
My question is from the above information , do you advise me to wait since i am not in terriible pain.
Currently, I am experiencing some diarrhea last night and discomfort , a lot of gas, belching, and bloating.
I just don't want to undergo a surgey if it can be delayed and i am starting some online medical office classed too.
When the surgeon said , ''It should probaly come out"". i felt like he left it up to me to make that decision. Is that the manner in which they suggest or am I reading too much into it.
PLEASE HELP ME, I AM REALLY SCARED OF THE PAIN AFTERWARDS
ANY ADVICE WOULD BE VERY VERY APPRECIATED.
