    I had those nasty things when I was pregnant with my 2nd.. I was like 6 months and on when I found out I had those and I remember the Dr telling me that I couldn't eat anything with spice, caffeine etc and I was like are you serious?, I am friggin pregnant and you are telling me I can't eat tacos or drink coffee or anything..Lol..it sucked and I was in EXTREME pain at times.. Ugh they are horrible!! I hope you can get those removed!

    hi jess, I sent you an email today.......I just wanted to say, and to make sure you understand, in my case, and this is me, Im speaking for myself, I had high liver functions which required an xray, which showed calcium deposits. Again, Im not that familiar with the actual size but they were there

    my Drs assistance referred me to a surgeon, but I never went . I had high liver functions back in 1998 when I had a physical, but too scared to find out what that was

    After losing my weight in a SENSIBLE way, I didnt crash diet, but I ate a good diet that was mostly, fruits, vegs, pinto beans, and chicken breasts, with on ocassion, some pasta......

    NO PROCESSED FOODS, NO SALTS, NO DRUGS, NO ALCHOL, NO CIGARETTES, ............liteally a clean diet

    When I got my readings back, the one from my physical in Dec, 3 weeks ago, my liver functions have returned to normal.......I was stumped, as well as all my readings and tests are those of a 25 year old man ,lol...........Im 55

    So, since I have never ever had problems with my gall bladder, its a different scenrario, as opposed to your situation

    IF you are in pain with severe stabbing pains, go the your local hospital and GO TO THE E.R

    They cant "LEGALLY" turn you away.......tell em you think youre dying, they have to have you looked at, as you mentioned you, dont have insurance

    But again, if youre in pain, really , get it looked into........I was just a lucky one, from what I have read, it seems its a pretty easy surgery

    LOL, Im scared to death of Drs and hospitals, so this was really really a blessing........
    Take care, and keep in touch.......add me as your friend........Lloyd
