I suppose to a degree I agree about letting your body heal itself, but I strongly believe there is an appropriate time and place for surgical intervention. In Jan. 06 I found myself doubled over in excruciating abdominal pain. For about 3 years leading up to this I was having more and more frequent bouts of acid reflux so bad that I went to the ER on 2 different occasions thinking I was having a heart attack. Then in Jan. I had the bad abdominal pain that prompted me to go to the ER. Turns out I had a gall bladder "chock full" of stones. My gall bladder was distended from the amount of stones in it and also had become infected. It was so swollen that it was pressed against my pancreas which also became enlarged and infected. Those 2 things combined caused my liver enzymes to be totally out of whack and thus I found myself jaundiced and running a fever pf 101 for 5 days as well. Let my body heal it self? I think not. I had an ERCP done and they found that the stones were completely blocking the gall bladder duct. In addition, the bile duct had spasmed shut. There was no way that this was going to rectify itself w/o surgery. I happily reliquenshed my gall bladder. I don't think it's prudent to advise others to rule out surgery across the board. That might have been YOUR experience. It certianly hasn't been mine.
