Well my symptoms started out with horrible nausea, so bad that the thought of food made me want to go vomit..Slowly that got better...Was kinda on and off for a few days out of about 3 weeks. When I wasn't nauseaus & I would start to eat, half way through I would have to stop because of the nausea.
Then the pain started, under my rib on the right side. Slightly dull at first..Then it got more pronounced. At first I could only feel it when I was sitting..Then laying down & then standing. It got to the point where it hurt more than my appendix did. Today is the first day it has let up, so now my fingers are crossed that it won't flare up again.
I'm scheduled for a hida scan next friday to see if my gallbladder is functioning properly. I would not be suprised if it were, because they think that it is just inflammed. You can have flare ups of inflammation...On and off.
Two days ago I would of agreed to have it taken out, today i'm more optimistic. I have troiuble with anesthesia, and so the thought of going under again is very scary.
Also not sure if this is related but i've never had heartburn before in my whole life..And i've had it twice in the past month, only when I eat lasagna right before bed, so no more lasagna for me.
My pain is also like pressure, it feels like their is something in there trying to get out.
Good luck with your surgery.
