Pain under the right rib. It radiates to the sides and the back.

My first attack about 4 weeks ago, I actually thought that I had pulled a muscle in my side. The pain subsided after a couple of hours.

The second attack that sent me to the hospital lasted about 10 hours, and only stopped after they had pumped me with all kinds of meds.

I was on antibiotics for about 24 hours before the surgery.

I got home within 24 hours after the surgery, and there are some that are actually out patients.

For the most part the recovery isn't that bad. The doc gave me perk. to take but I have been able to go just with Tylenol nighttime.

I am gradually introducing foods back into my diet. I am keeping away from fatty foods.

Gall bladder attacks are miserable, aren't they? "Give me morphine and give it to me now!"
