I recall once watching a guy I worked with passing a kidney stone and I've never seen someone suffer like that in my life .
I was told on Monday that I have to urgently have my Gall Bladder removed due to 30mm stone within and was petrified when told in case I could suffer the same .
Surgeon explained the difference ........but it'll be out within the week.
Good luck with your treatment and recovery . :y

Swmbo had a 12 mm gallstone stuck in a 6mm bile duct. That hurt ! It was there for 2 years, as hospital failed to spot the problem, during several emergency admissions.  ::)

My sister has just been diagnosed with the same. Don't know how they missed it on your missus, my sis was yellow with jaundice and in agony. They removed the stone that was blocking the common bile duct by endoscopy, the rest can wait, apparently.

Many emergency admissions, unbearable agony. Treated with Morphine until it eased of, then sent home. After 2 years a simple ultra sound showed the problem, plus a very manky gallbladder. Attempts to remove the stones from the duct only resulted in a perforated duodenum, which is potentially fatal apparently. 9 days of nil by mouth followed, when they said they would have another go in a week or so.
At that point we went private. All was sorted in a few days.  ::)

I had my gall bladder removed via key hole surgery 9 years ago. Not too bad but I did go private at the time.

Funny thing was that I asked the Consultant how long it would take to get back to normal life after the op to which he replied:

"If you feel like playing tennis, then go and play tennis"

My response:

"That would be a miracle as I haven;t ever felt like playing tennis before"  ;D

Had my Gall Bladder removed by keyhole around 3 years ago as totally blocked with stones.

In hospital for 2 days then few days light duties....metal staples being removed were the worst part at local clinic so advise is ask for proper stitches .

Mine was the result of far too much French cheese for too many years..now try and avoid anything fatty.

Good luck Al...you will be fine and back swinging that strat soon  :o

Part of my, previously mentioned job in theatres , was for me to ask the patient before the op if they wanted to keep their gallstones, I recall one old chap answered strangely" Oh yes I want to give them to my grandson" before I could engage my brain I responded with " Wouldn't he rather have a Werthers original?" the anesthetist at least thought it was funny...unlike my boss or the patient :'(

After the op I would need to cut open the removed gallbladder to send it off fo histology, the gallstones were all different, some like gravel and some like sphere's but one I recall was like a perfect cube made of glass.
