Good morning group. I really could use some help from you.
I have recently been having alot of problems with eathing
and terrible pains in my stomach. A week before
thanksgiving, I started having horrible pains in my stomach
after eating. It was just once in a while, and then it
was everything I was eating. The only thing I could seem
to keep down was liquids. I went into the hospital for
three days thanksgiving morning and they sent me home on
the third day telling me that I had a bowel obstruction
but it passed. they had me on nothing but ice chips for
three days. Then 2 days later, it happened again and
they said it was nothing but colic and sent me home.
the next day it was so bad i couldnt stand it so i
went back to the er. This time they admitted me and
started doing test. They said I had sludge in my
gallbladder and that it had to come out. I had it
removed and two days later they sent me home.
3 days later, I had horrible cramping pains in
my stomach and nothing i did seemed to help. I
went back to the er and they said that there was
a possibility that I still had stones in my
gallbladder and that it happens alot. They
also said that I should stay on a bland diet
because i could still have the same attacks I
had when i still had my gallbladder until my
pancreas got used to taking on the job that
the gallbladder used to do. Is this true???
Do I have to live with these attacks forever??
Sometimes I can eat anything and sometimes, i cant.
Can someone please help me?? Im going crazy from
all the trips to the hospital and the er doctors
that just dont care. One doctor told me to go home
and take my pain medicine because this is the same
pain i always have. he looked at me in discust.
He told me that he talked to my doctor but i found
out later that he never called him. Is there
anything i can do about this horrible treatment???
Im just sick over it.
Thank you all for your help,
Susie - south jersey
