I was diagnosed with gallstones yesterday. I didnt even see the film yet or talk with the doc (his office girl called, not even the nurse) just to tell me I need to see a surgeon. I'm gonig to pick up the films next week.
Anyway, I noticed the symptoms a few weeks ago while losing weight. When I went off my "diet" i.e. ate more, holiday treats etc..the symptoms subsided. I have had gallbladder symptoms in the past after each pregnancy while losing the weight.
I know weightloss can aggrevate gallbladder symptoms. I dont plan on having my gallbladder out asap, sadly enough for insurance reasons...
Has anyone managed to lose weight safely, knowing you had gallstones without any major flare ups?
Ugh..what a pain...it was my weight that got me into this situation to begin with...
