My Gallbladder hates me.

So, about 2 weeks ago, I start getting this sqeezing and clenching sensation in my stomach. I really think nothing of it until it starts getting painful. Every time my stomach is empty, or right after I eat, I get this sensation, and if I eat too much, it will feel like I have a gigantic rock in my stomach. God forbid if i eat something right before bed, I would be up all night in pain.

so, I go to the doctor, she asked me a few questions about where the pain is, and if my stool has been light colored, which it has been, and she is convinced it's my Gallbladder. She tells me that I might have gallstones, and if they are bad enough, I will need to get it removed. FML one more time.

So, I got an ultrasound done on my digestive system today, and the results will come in in 3-4 days.

My possibilities are that I have a gallstone, and I am put on special medication, and i'm put on a bland diet for a long time. Possibility #2, Its bad enough to where it needs to be removed, and I will need to be put on medication, and possibly a bland diet for the rest of my life. awesome.

/Negativity. Bland diet, and pills for life!

Hopefully, you'll get better soon. Though a 3-4 day wait ..and the results..seem kind of pressuring.

My girlfriend has sand in her gallbladder, so I've learned a thing or two about the whole gall thing. She was on the bland diet for a month and half, there was the possibility that she'd have to get her gallbladder removed, in which case you have to be on the bland diet for three to four months but then you can gradually revert to your normal diet (provided your "normal" diet doesn't consist of fast food, soda and powdered cholesterol). The liver picks up the pace and makes up for the lack of a gallbladder and you get back to normal. The "medication and bland diet forever" is the worst worst worst case scenario, you shouldn't worry about that.

And chances are you won't even have to get it removed.

And maybe it's not even gall stones, maybe it's just gastritis or helicobacter pylori and you'll get a round of pills to take for a month and that's that.

Good luck ^_^
