Like the others, my triggers were fatty food: my first major attack happened in a Macca's!

It wasn't until I was in Italy 2 years ago on vacation and was admitted to hospital that I finally had my gall bladder out. It seems I was lucky (although it sure didn't feel the way at the time) considering the wait I hear people have for the surgery here in Australia.

Good luck Dee - I know this is absolute agony but really if you stay away from fatty foods it will hopefully help significantly.
