I'm sorry you don't feel well! I hate feeling like you don't know whats going on but you know you don't feel like yourself. I hope they work something out for you soon!
Oh goodness! You've had quite a time with all of this stuff going on. I think it's good that your doctor wanted to check out everything just to make sure there wasn't more than just gallstones casusing your issues.
Hopefully everything works out well. You have a good attitude about this stuff and when you have a good attitude, things have a way of working out good no mattter what!
I have to say you've got me super worried about you. They aren't supposed to be finding more things! But I am glad you are listening to your body and doing something about it. It's better to catch things early than late - and is in life, things happen.
Ugh, BG, UGH! I'm sorry - but the sympathy - and empathy IS there! I don't like hearing that anyone has to deal with medical stuff ever! You've done all this to get healthy and be pro-active...this is not where this is supposed to be going!
Oh BG, I hope that this all gets figured out soon for you!! I know how hard it can be, all the mystery things popping up.
I used to go to a great Neurologist who has put me through a ton of testing through the years, not to mention the Gyno/Urologist!! But like you said, at least you start to find out what is wrong and can then address it.
I hope that they do figure out everything so it can be taken care of in the one Surgery!!!!
I've had the lower ultrasound before. They push down on your bladder and at any second you feel as though you just might pee on yourself, lol. It was horrible.
I'm so sorry that you're having all of these problems. Hopefully they will find out what is going on soon.
Hysterical about the alien abductions. The visuals there are priceless.
Ugh, though, what a pain to go through all this. I'm glad to hear you're not too terribly uncomfortable, and I hope your docs are able to figure out how to fix you back up tout suite!
I hope you get some answers soon. At least your octo-babies will be gone (or are there 12 of those little suckers). I had some pains 4 years ago which they were sure was my gallbladder (you know fat, forty, female and fertile) but they were wrong--it was my appendix which almost exploded. They couldn't take it out for 6 months til the infection went away-bunged up/diarrhea alternated so I can "feel your pain". I had one of those alien US and the "lets push the bladder so hard to see if she pops!" Why is it I always get the male techs. Or maybe they like to volunteer for the ladies.
Hope you feel good soon. Is your GB surgery scheduled?
Just saw your comment on my post today. I meant to write brown RICE, not brown sugar. I had beef bourguignon served over brown rice. I can't believe I wrote sugar. HA!
I'm 3.5 weeks into the meds for the ulcerative proctitis/colitis and am still having problems. I go back to the GI doc Thursday and have a list of things I'd like to discuss with him. But the acid reflux is totally gone ... Good luck.
Blech - why is it when things are going along swimmingly, something comes up and bites us in the ass.. (was that a colon reference.. sorry.. just realised lol.) Seriously though, I'm so upset for you that you are dealing with all of this. I'm thinking of you and hoping it all sorts quickly. Chin up sunshine :)
OH BG.. not fair.. perhaps I can send my fairy over to sprinkle some get well soon pixie dust.. Keep asking questions though, and challenge the docs (lesson I have learned is that YOU the patient are in charge and make sure you are comfortable with the approach).
I'm a wife, mother of three, and eternal optimist. I've been skinny and obese and all the places in between (too many times). Getting the Lap Band is the best thing I've ever done for myself. I love to laugh and I share everything (in this Lap Band Blog ). Have you heard? I'm on a new journey to pay-it-forward and with the encouragement and support of my Lap Band Groupies.........
I'M WRITING A Lap Band BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Join Me!

You may as well get sympathy now AND later....don't limit yourself. :) LOL! :)
At any rate, I'm sorry you're having to deal with all of this, and I hope it gets resolved soon.
Best of luck to you and as we say in the South, "Bless your little heart!" I hope you mend quickly.

Hang in there.
