Thank you so much for your reply. Once the issue started, I actually changed my diet, and ended up losing 48 pounds. Still no change in my health. I am thinking about trying some of the remedies that you suggested, but I just really feel like the surgery is going to be best for me. I have done all my research about it, and to me, I think the pros far outway the cons. I know there are some things I'll have to do afterwards to get my digestion back on track after the surgery. I hate this depressed feeling because you always feel horrible. I just can't believe how quickly this problem got worse, and how quickly the quality of my life has deminished. I read online that stress makes biliary diskenisia worse, and that is very much true. Last week I was under a lot of stress dealing with all the testing and doctors appointments I had been to. I had a colonoscopy and stressed myself out over how I would handle the prep. Then work issues, and all of that piled up into hurting so badly that I couldn't do anything. I hate that other people are going through this, but it is nice to have a place to come and talk about it and know your not alone. People who don't hurt all the time, definitly don't know what kind of toll it takes on you emotionally.
