What did you get for Christmas?
A Laporoscopic Cholycystecomy.
It took about the same time for them to diagnose mine...after three trips to the emergency room between July and August. My surgery didn't take place until October. I didn't have stones...I had grainy sand in mine. And they couldn't do mine laparoscopically because I'd already had three other abdominal surgeries in the past. But at least I still got to go home the next day.
That’s a bad story. It took FOUR months to diagnose my gall bladder.
