Gallstones....

Yep that's right I have gallstones.... soooo fun!!!

So it all started a few months ago when I would wake up in the middle of the night in really bad pain in my abdomin. I didn't really think anything of it. Maybe like a month or so later I woke up again in the same kind of pain. It would last anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half. It would eventually go away. Again I let it go, not big deal. Then one night it started before I even feel asleep. This time I threw up and felt sooo much better. So I called my mom in the morning and she was like well you probably are having gall bladder problems because I went through the same thing. and everyone says I am too young and don't fit the profile. boy were they wrong. well we let it go a little while longer and then I had an attack last sunday night so my mom said ok lets go to the doctor.. I said ok. So on Wednesday we went to the doctor she said acid reflux and my mom said gall bladder. so she ordered a ultra sound. so Friday morning I went in for my ultra sound and the tech said I have gallstones.. yay me!! So now I am just waiting to hear from my doctor and then it will be removed.. So right now I am on a very low fat diet!! which is easier than I thought it would be but still hard because everything has fat in it.. So I am just very careful with what I put in my body now.

  1. Oh, Kaylie. I'm sorry! I am glad you have a great mom that stuck up for you. Sometimes doctors think that they know your body more than you do!
