Going from bad to worse -- Compiler in ER-- gall bladder?

hope today is a better day for you and you can connect with the surgeon.

Well, as I feared, it's hard to get an appointment with these people. The best I could do was Mon the 20th. So, I might end up in the ER for the 3rd time.

However: I woke up in pain, running a 99.8 temp., and a few hours later I feel totally fine (like 100% pain free) and my temp is normal.

I had fat free yougurt and a banana for lunch. Tonight I'll try some Tilapia (2 gms of fat).

If I re-introduce fatty food and run into these problems again, it will be pretty obvious that this is a gb problem.

I know this is a few days old, but thought I'd chime in. My wife went through this as well. She waited longer than she should have, and ended up with a good case of Pancreatitis. I guess when the GB gets blocked up, it starts aggravating the other organs around it, etc.
If you haven't already, just go get the dang thing out, you'll almost certainly feel much better.
Oddly, since having the surgery (about 6 months ago), my wife can pretty much still eat anything she wants, and she has never experienced any problems.
Cheers

I am another one that had the GB out and have no problems now. I had to carefully watch my diet for about 9 months and then was able to eat normally but I still get a touch of a tummy upset if I eat really fatty or rich foods.
