Claudia,
I would still have mine had I not gotten so ill with the pancreatis stuff.
That really did move me into action. Also the fact that my GB wall was
thickening, which is not a good sign.
It was actually kind of funny, really. The doctor that did the ERCP on me to
look for the stone and found one stone in my bile duct, also looked in my GB.
He was soooooooooo amazed that I didn’t have any gallstones in there. Guess
he thought that I was lying. When I go see the surgeon on Tues. for my
follow-up, I’m taking paperwork from the hospitals that shows in my ultrasound
that
I had gallstones. One is dated Dec. 2000, and I’ll pick up the other one on
Monday which will be dated 4/25/03. haahaa! I can’t wait.
But all in all I decided to have my GB removed when the surgeon came back

from talking with the ERCP doctor and found out that I didn’t have any stones in
my GB, but my wall was thickened. The reason that I didn’t have any stones in
my GB was because when I did my last cleanse on 5/17, I pushed my two stones
out. Now, either I passed those stones in my cleanse, which I thought that I
did, or they were two liver stones, which is also possible. But again, those
two stones could have been hiding in one of my bile ducts, I guess. It was
just a strange thing to happen after all these years of doing the cleanse.
