When I was pregnant 14 years ago, gallstones showed up on my ultrasound.
I have never had an issue with them until recently.
1.5 years ago, I started taking Yazmin birth control pills. Then about 9 months later, I had an attack (I thought it was the heart burn/flu). I had 3 attacks about 1 month after each other. They symptoms got worse. The final one was 9 hours of vomiting. Yuck.
That is when they figured out I was having gallbladder attacks.
The last attack was in April, when coincidentally, I went of Yazmin.
I have not had any attacks or pains since April, but I am schedule to have surgery next month to have it removed. I have had blood tests done and they showed no signs of inflammation.
I have read that 80% of gallbladders do not really need to be removed.
I really do not want to have this removed if I do not have to.
Since I am off the Yasmin, and have not had any pains in 6 months, is it reasonable that I am thinking of cancelling my surgery?
Please help.
Very confused.
