Okay, here's the deal. I had my third child about 8 weeks ago. A couple of weeks after that I had three attacks. Then nothing for two weeks, then I had one attack the night before my six week postnatal check up. Had I not had the pain the night before I would never have even mentioned it to my dr. He sent me three days later for an ultrasound. They found two small stones...no edema no other problems. It is now three weeks later and I have not had another attack. I am on pregnancy medicaid and it runs out at the end of this month. I am scheduled to have my gallbladder removed next Tuesday. This would also leave me with no follow up care, becuase we cannot afford it. Also, no back up if I have any complications. Do I really even need to have this surgery?? I also have three children at home.
