Guest guest Posted January 16, 2001 Report Share Posted January 16, 2001 Joy, That would make sense...Gallbladders can give you those symptoms too...BM's...aka: Bowel movements Dawn GOOD LUCK! Re: Joy Heard from the gastro specialist today and she is concerned that this may be my gall bladder causing all the pain. I have to go for blood work tomorrow and an ultra sound Friday morning. So will see what happens. In the mean time they want me to double up on liquid carafate and omepresole until further notice.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2001 Report Share Posted January 18, 2001 Went to see Dr R today, he also scheduled a upper GI. Plus he gave me additional pain med. He's such a doll. He was very concern over my not eating. He wants me to take to pain pills 1 hr before I eat. He really wants me to try and eat. Soups with veggies, etc. So I'll give it a try. Thanks so much for your help and support. Maybe we will meet at LMH one of these months. I practically have total night blindness, so driving at night is out unless I can get a friend to give me a ride. So maybe next month I can try an find someone to ride me. Take care. I'll let you know the results of the tests when I find out. post-op complications > > > > > > > > > > > > Hi everyone: This is my first time at this site, I got it from a > > > > friend.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2001 Report Share Posted January 19, 2001 Thank you. I live in Cambridge but could meet you anywhere that's convenient for you. Tell me a little about yourself. Have you had surgery yet? How are you doing? Etc......
