Oh my Goodness! Of course you can ask for prayers anywhere! I am so sorry about your DH and it was not a heart attack. Whew! A person can live without a gall bladder so that is "wonderful" news - ha ha. Will be praying for him to feel better until drs and you decide what to do. Love and hugs, Jan

The doctors kept misdiagnosing my gallbladder problem for a few years and finally ended up with it being removed with an eight day hospital stay. Was disappointed because a couple years after that my mom had hers out laparoscopic without the long scar and went home the same day. He should do good well on the pain medications and when he needs it removed don't hesitate. Felt much improved with it gone and don't miss it. Such a stressful time for you both last night. ~ In my Prayers.

I see that you are in Canada. I wonder if you were in the USA that they probably would have operated and removed the gall bladder. By the time the government gets through screwing up our health care, I will be told that I am too old for a needed procedure and be let out for pasture.

Thank the Lord it was his gallbladder. I'm a nurse, and just want you to know that even if he needs surgery,not to worry. Gallbladder surgery is now only two tiny cuts, covered with two bandaids and home the next day. I had the gallbladder surgery when the cut you all the way across and then to months later they came out with the two tiny cuts. I was a little upset with my doctor because then I was only 22. You and your husbands are in my prayers. Thanks for the wonderful designs you so graciously give us!

How scarey for you! I am happy it wasn't a heart attack. Gallbladder removed seems to be very common - my Aunt was 95 when she had hers removed and had no problems afterwards, I hope it will be the same for your DH!! My prayers will be with you both! *4U

Had my gall bladder out many, many years ago. Stones. Horrible pain. Had a friend who told me that he'd take his heart attack over his gall bladder attack any day. Haven't gone through the heart attack, but sure don't like the gall bladder ones. Hubby has no idea how good he'll feel when it comes out. And I had the big cut. Stomach looks like a road map. Stretch marks from the baby and the 2 surgery scars. I was in the hospital for well over a week with mine. That tells you how long ago it was!

Your in my prayers...from someone who has been there.
I had one attack and was doubled up on the bathroom floor, home alone and had no idea what it was. I'd rather have a natural birth. The worst part of the surgery was the fear of going to have it.

Prayers are with you both. I suspect there are a lot of us who've suffered that terrible pain of gall stones. The good news is that once his infection is cleared up with the antibiotics, they should be able to do surgery to remove the gall bladder. It's a pretty easy surgery and fast recovery. Please keep us updated on how he is doing.

I have had gallbladder trouble and that one of the worst pains there is. I will be praying for your DH. Of coarse these days - the surgery isn't as severe as it was in the past - but anytime - we remove something that God gave us - we will experience discomfort.

Boy you got that right Shirlene and turns out, alot of the parts we were given that end up causing problems....we can actually do without lol. And what's really amazing is how much less crueling surgeries are now-when I had my colon removed (had UC) 8 yrs. ago-I ended up with a verical incision 10" long and another one horizontally 3" long-now they can do it using laproscopy(sp?)-.Only hospitalization I have ever had-other than birth of my 2 daughters-but it was a doozy of an experience-
LOL-no more bikinis or crop shirts for this ugly belly- ok,bad joke-those days were long gone before surgery lol

I hope your hubby has a speedy recovery. Speaking from experience, gall bladder pain is the worst. Hopefully it will all be taken care of soon and he will be 100% better. Hugs, Mary

I too have had my gallbladder removed. We thought it was kidney stones at first because I had had them before too. Get ready to drastically change your diets even if the gallbladder goes or stays. He will be fine after awhile. I'm thankful for medical science but, it is true we always should include prayers to God for all he blesses us with. cj

I was concerned about the diet too after our DIL had hers removed. She says she can eat anything she wants. Hasn't had a problem. Also, one of my friends had her gallbladder removed and she said the same thing. No problems. Guess everyone is different though.

I will keep your hubby and you in my prayers! Nothing can be more scary than to hurt and not know what is going on. Be thankful that it was not his heart. Well wishes and blessings to you both, Linda

They are doing amazing things with medical technology these days. My next door neighbor had the laser surgery to remove her gallbladder and the stones. Only a one inch incision and another small opening for the laser near the navel. She was back at work the third day afterwards, and I think she eats pretty much anything she wants now.
Sorry your evening out spiralled into a gallbladder attack. They are painful and scary, not knowing what is happening!

Your DH won't know himself when he has his Gallbladder removed. I had mine done in 1970 and now can eat anything. Have a massive scar but my friend had keyhole surgery last year. Lyn
