Hi everyone--I really enjoy reading all of your posts. It's so nice to know that people are going through similar problems. Here's my quick story. Bad stomach for 7 years (I'm 22) and many diagnosis that changed often-- first IBS, then celiac disease...I didn't get too much better on the diet, so I figured I still had IBS. Now they checked my gallbladder. It's only functioning at 6%. 35% and up in normal, under 10 means its useless. Thus, I need surgery. I'm stressed about missing work, and I am just nervous. Has anyone gone through the surgery? I want to know exactly what to expect. Also, people tell me I might not have celiac or IBS and it all might be gallbladder related. Any thuoghts? It's nice having a diagnosis that might make me feel better, but at the same time it's tough. I just graduated college in June, moved in with my boyfriend and started 2 great jobs...I want to keep all of this and have a decent life, you know? So any thoughts and comments would help!!!
