I was very sick with pancreatitis in hospital soooo sick, hooked up to drips of antibiotics, and fluids, for 8 days, local Dr had diagnosed me with gastroentreritis until I started vomiting uncontrollably, that's when I went to ER.
Admitted and treated with ultrasound machine to move the stuck gallstone, or that's what I understand happened, it moved, eight days later had surgery to remove gallbladder, during my stay in hospital shocked myself by looking in mirror one morning I was bright yellow.
No Pain at all, although I had been told some months previous I did have gallstones and would in the future need them to be removed, but considered not urgent.
On the day after surgery I was checked to see if I was diabetic, had a CAT scan of liver, I think they were surprised I was as well as I was.
Came home, and went back to work a week later, check up about 3 weeks later, and Dr said I could go back to work, looked at him in shock and said I have been at work for the last two weeks, had no on-going side effects.
Now intolerant of too much sugar, and or fat, feel really unwell, bilious, and a bit headachy, but nothing more, I am now 20 years on.
