I never had any pain associated with gallstones. The reason I knew I had them was because a scan showed the stones. I was in the hospital have my appendix removed and that was when the Gallstones were discovered.
I honestly believed the doctor would have removed my gallbladder, too, but he was catching a flight to go on a ski trip and was rushed for time. It was my good luck!
Thirty days later when I went back to see him for my 30 day check up, he didn't even know my name! That's when I knew I had to take my health into my own hands.....and I did.
