Hi,

I also had alot small stones and had to have my Gall Bladder removed about 9 yrs ago.
My first attack was on our vacation a few hrs after a meal we had.
I thought i was having a heart attack, I couldn't yell for my husband or anything till the pain backed off.
I had attacks 3 times a wk. Dr. said I had to get them to slow up.
I was in pain for 2 -3 ms before surgery took place.
Trouble was one time a certain food would set it off another time it didn't cause any pain. A person never knows.
I had lost 10 lbs at the time only good thing that came out of it all.
Still after 9 yrs later I have bowel problems.
I just figured out a few months ago this is what has caused my extreme Hair Loss I have suffered for 7 yrs now.
And not one Dr through the years knew what was causing the Hair Loss.
I am trying to get bowels under control now.

My daughter also had Gall Bladder problems while carrying her baby and they just keep hoping she wouldn't need emergency surgery before her Baby came.
She made it through and had surgery a wk after her baby came she also had an Attack while in Labor.
My attacks were different from hers. Her's came any time and lasted longer she didn't even have to eat something to cause it.
Everyone is different I guess when it comes to this issue.
Also, the Dr told me some people can have stones and never have the pain and mine were alot of small stones and Causes me the pain .
