Well, I am going to live

So went to eht Doctor today for a report, and possible coarse of action for all the tests I have had lately.

So basically, It went from Polyps in my gall bladder, to your liver function is greatly reduced< yellowed eyes and all>, to you need to be prepared for possible inoperable cancer, to Look we know whats wrong.

Gall bladder is pushins less than one percent when being asked to push bile into the intestines. Its not that the GB wasnt contracting, the bilinary tube is pulgged, no stones just for whatever reason there is almost zero flow at all. Well, here is were the pains were coming from, also were the other symptoms<alcohol hitting extremly hard>. The theory is, that when the GB would contract hard enough, it would actually be inducing some small tears in itself, allowing for leakage to the bloodstream, Bleeding ETC. Which lead to myself being aneimic, loss of energy ETC.

I know it sounds all kinds of crazy complicated for a Gall Bladder, but its just a strange relief to know its not cancer as my doctors have been preparing me as a possibility.

So, the good news, its as simple as removing the Gall Bladder
Bad news.... it wont be until January.
Good news... normal diet within a couple weeks
Bad news... I will be missingout on the drinking festivities for New year sthis year
Good news.....Did I mention its not Cancer?
Bad news......There is a chance that in teh meantime, It could rupture<not fully understanding this>and have emergency surgery, resulting is being opened up fully.
Good news..... normal is a simple 30-45 minute procedure





Best news......I will no longer be having these pains that are putting me on the floor, I will be able to live just normally without it........ I finally have an answer to what is happening with me, and a reasonable explanation of the symtpoms that have had me back and forth to the doctors at the ER.




Life goes on, cheers...Save me a beer form new years for celebrating in January!!!

thats good news bro!

I know a few people who have had to have their GB's taken out, and it is no big thing (as operations go) so you got that going for you!

PS, New Years = Rookie drinking night! You are better off drinking every Friday and after rides the other nights of the week!

Good on you hoss.

Do they know what caused all this? My wife is going through similiar sh*t and we've been to about 5 different guessers. She's spent about 6 nights total in the hospital on a morphine drip.

She's done bowel cleanses, liver cleanses, gall stone cleanse. All the tests are normal. I'm beginning to think it's some sort of emotional problem, manifesting as pain.

My Doctors answer was..... There is no rhyme or reason, it just happens.

Great news.
But why can't you get the surgery in December?
I am sure you had enough medical bills to meet your deductible for 2009 by now, and it starts over on Jan. 1.
It would save you some dough, and lessen the risk of it rupturing.
