Who's had their gall bladder out?

I had mine out in 2007, I had a bad attack the year before and went into the ER I sat there for at least five hours with out being looked at, the pain subsided I walked out.
In the fall of 2007 I had another attack thought it was indigestion or something I ate?
After six or seven hours of pain the wife drove me to the hospital, ( different one ) good thing it was like two am and after all the tests they called the surgeon.
I was under the knife by 8:00 am, when the doctor went for it it burst, and was full of gang green that was seeping into the cavity he had to make an incision of about 15 inches to get in and clean up the mess. I was on the table for about seven hours
The doctor told me if I did not come in when I did I might not have lived another two hours.
Get yourself checked out, It is done as an out patiant procedure.
Good luck.
