I had my gall bladder removed when I was about 22. Pre babies.

I was having attacks for 3 years & the doctors kept telling me it was heart burn, I couldn't understand why the heart burn tablets weren't helping at all. I cant have anything stronger than panadol as I'm allergic to codiene so it was a very painful time for me. I was often at the medical centre in exruciating pain in the middle of the night just begging for some relief!

I was diagnosed after moving from the city to a town on the central coast where the local doctor said it sounded to him like gall stones & sent me for an u/s. As it turns out my gall bladder was full to the rim of stones!

I was booked in for keyhole surgery to remove my gall bladder, I went private & I think I waited about a week or 2.

Because I had asked the doctor what gall stones looked like, he kept one for me LOL It really is a stone! The one he kept for me was about the size of a 20c coin, I dont know if thats considered big or small & I dont know if that was a bigger or smaller one from my stones removed.

I haven't had any liver problems but its awesome not having to go through those attacks after suffering for so long. You'll be a brand new person!

Wishing you all the best
