Well I officially hate hospitals. I never go to them because they tell you bad stuff:shock:.. Well Halloween night after eating Taco Bell i felt a little bloated and gassy, But I thought I had eaten some bad Bell food.. Well a little later the my stomach or lower chest area felt as if I was being blown up with air, And I was breaking out in a clod sweat, Whatever it was (IT HURT BAD).. So in my desperation to feel better I thought I would go throw up.. We when I did the food and all came up.. I didnt feel any better.. So I did it again, This time throwing up pure blood.. Well instantly I felt better.. And passed it off as bad food or something..

Well a little than a month later it happened again.. DAMN.. So this time my wife made me take gas x and some peppermint tea.. Instantly I threw it up and was doubled over from the pain.. We called the ER and they said they cant tell me to do anything over to phone, And that I would need to come in if I wanted anything done.. So we didnt go since I dont really like hospitals and they cost $$.. So I went back to throwing up to relieve the pressure.. after an hour or so the pain went away (WHEW) The next day I went to our family doc and told him what happened and all he wanted to do is joke about my stool and if it compared to his stool chart hanging on the wall,and what was it like living in Vegas:shock:.. So he chalked it up as bad Acid reflux and put me on Nexium.. Well that got rid of my heartburn:-P...

Then yesterday morning, I had to do a tow @ 2am. Came home jumped in the shower and went to bed.. 45 minutes later I was woken up by that f'ing pain again:-(, All I wanted to do was sleep, But this wouldnt let me. So I made myself throw up while cursing at my family doc.. Well the pain was getting worse than I have ever felt in my life.. It almost felt like I had been shot with a gun in the stomach.. I did everything.. Nothing seemed to work this time.. So at 7:am I had to drop my little one off at daycare, And as soon as I got back onto the road, It hit again.. Keeping from crashing the towtruck from the pain, I called my wife, And boss, And said I was heading to the ER.. So I had the hammer to the floor, I had my f-450 going as fast as it could, I thought about hitting all the reds and blues on it to get people to move there slow ass's.

So here I am, In a gown that I had to tie by myself, Sitting on a bed with an I V and some other electrical hookups and a blood pressure monitor, And Some very strong pain meds (DELOTED).. WOO HOO I was a space cadet and feelin good.. They wheel me up stairs to a ultra sound machine and find 5 gull stones, Which to me more looked like boulders.. Well since I was feeling like superman and out of my mind, I was just talkin shit to the nurses, And docs.. So the doc comes back in and says Mr, Crowe you have gull stones and we are gonna do surgery to remove your gull bladder..:shock::shock: I hate surgery, I have an appoitment today with the surgeon to discuss the opperation and recovery time and all.. They are gonna blow me up like a balloon and make 3 cuts and pull these boulders out of my belly button.. I know this might be minor to them, But is me thats affraid of surgery.. Atleast I get a week at the least off of work..
WISH ME LUCK!!!
 
Well good luck, I have had many friends and family members who have had that surgery done and all came out great. I think it is actually one of if not the most common surgery done in most hospitals. I was in the ER with my wife when she got pancreatitus which they thought were gall stones and the doctor, who was a female, who had children, and had had gall stones actually said the gall stones hurt her worse than giving birth. Well you can at least rest know that you won't go through that pain again after the surgery.
 
It's a common procedure and nothing to worry about. You'll have a few small incisions right below your ribs on the right side and one at your belly button. Your body might not be able to handle greasy and spicy food like before. My wife had her gall bladder taken out a few years ago. She's small already, but dropped down to under a 100lbs after the surgery. Couldn't hold anything down. She can eat just about anything now. Lettuce still hurts her a little.
 
The wife had her appendix and gallbladder removed that way, she was back to normal in a few days. Her complaint was it messed up the looks of her belly button, nice little 1/2" scar.
 
Man dude,is that whats been wrong this whole time?I had doctors and hospitals too,At least you'll feel better and its a easy process and you won't have to stay long,Good luck,CD
 
Thanks for the support and info guys.. My surgery is gonna be on Monday the 10th, But I think I will have them move it to friday the 14th.. That way I have the weekend to recover, And just a couple days away from work instead of a whole week.. And what movie Mike?
 
i had to have mine out at age 12 at 68lbs;-)...wont regret the surgery mine was so scared that they said it looked like a 60 year olds that drank:lol: good luck man i wish ya the best
 
If my crazy uncle can handle getting his removed, you can. They showed him the stones after and they looked like greenish colored tater tots.
