Gallstones

[christyJo]

I have not been here for a few weeks; Wed eve I ended up in the er , thought I was dieing. My side was killing me. Turns out after a ct scan I have gal stones. The dr said I will prob need it removed sooner than later. I am getting ready to start tx just waiting for Rauche Pharm to finish up the ppwrk for meds. Has any one had a prob. like this? I am wondering if I should get this surgury than start tx or ride it out??

I've had mine removed, it was a breeze. No way I'ld start tx until I was rid of it.   just 1 more shot for me, 1/16th dose finishes my taper. jerry

Your doctor should weigh in on this but, my opinion, is that you should get the gallbladder surgery BEFORE you start treatment.  I know of several people that ended up having gallbladder problems during treatment and they were miserable.  Treatment is hard enough without having added gallbladder problems during it.  I had my gallbladder out about 7 years ago and I know how miserable an attack can be.

I needed foot surgery when the trial people called to begin tx, and they told me to get my surgery before starting tx.
