Having a bad week but today has been extra crappy. Went to see the consultant about my gallstones, what a waste of time. I was almost an hour late going in and when I did finally get to see him he said they wont do anything until I've had my next scan in September, that the gall stones wouldnt be causing my stomach to swell and that I should go to the gym!!! I burst in to tears as soon as we got out as he completely contradicted what my GP had told me and I cant afford to go the bloody gym because these stupid symptoms have caused me to lose my job, I cant even afford a pair of trainers to wear to the gym!
I still have the nausea every day, I struggle to eat and am sick at least twice a week but when I was weighed at the hospital I am 10 stone 13lb!!! I was only 8 stone at Christmas after losing all that weight last summer, am normally 8 stone 10 - 9 stone 4lb but my weight keeps creeping up and its all going on my stomach. I am not a vain person but I feel such a fat blob and its really knocking my confidence that people keep asking if I'm pregnant or when its due. Have made an appt with my GP for next week to see what she says but am on a real downer lately, have got loads on my mind and just want to shut myself away and cry - I won't 'cos I dont want to end up agoraphobic again, but thats how I feel

awww hun, i completely sypathise. I was supposed to have my gallbladder out because of gall stones 6 weeks after Lauren was born, over 2 years down the line i'm still waiting, it's always lets just see what the next scan tells us. got another one coming up going to really push this time as i'm getting fed up of the stomach pains, nausea, dashing to the loo and my diet being constantly restricted.

Thank you x

Nicola - sorry you are suffering, I have been lucky as I dont get the pains very often, but the sickness and feeling of being uncomfortable is daily.

My parents came round today, Mum was with me yesterday when I saw the consultant and she said maybe ask the GP if I can be referred to a different hospital and consultant. Think I will, as at the moment I am under Stafford Hospital, which you may have heard about on the news and in the papers!!!
