    Not with blood and vomiting, but constant pain under my right ribs and terrible bloating, heartburn, ect. Get a second opinion, I did, mine was a hernia but I'm still not convinced :-(

    Go for the surgery, ask yourself do you want to be on pills for the rest of your life and stil be in discomfort.  Pills do not always work.  You need a quality of life.
