I'm sort of in the same situation, fearing the worst. I'm due for an ultrasound too. It's hard not to google it and think what if. But I think you and me need to be patient and try and stay calm for the moment being. Do you have any distractions you can use?

If your doc is right about gallbladder stones, just try not to eat foods that are real greasy or fatty. That makes the gallbladder hurt more, should that be what you have. The ultrasound doesn't hurt. Had my gallbladder removed when I was 17 for various health reasons. I'm sure surgery has improved in the 22 years it's been since I had the surgery done. Good luck with your appointment, I'm glad you got it scheduled so soon. That way there will be less time to worry. Hope this helps.

Thank you Electro, yes thank you for you help, Keeping my mine busy and to worry about it!

Gall bladder stuff should be pretty slow, by which I mean, not hurtle and be too fast to keep up with.

I have had what I thought was a heart attack and got told gallbladder, I think it's the easiest thing for them to point to. Oh, you're over 40 and have pains around the rib cage - gallbladder!

Hmm. So for now I'm waiting to see how bad it all gets. I was given a form to get ultrasound but it was going to cost $250 so I'll just see how I go.

If I die it was a heart attack. :D

Bridge you not going to get a heart attack; you are going to be fine, Sad to hear that would cost so much you to get a sonogram, I just did mine yesterday and just waiting for the results. I little bit anxious about that. But keeping my mine busy, I hope you get better soon

I'm so sorry. Health fears..especially when they are based upon something real...can be really scary. I don't do well with those either. I wish I had some good advice to give you but just know that I can completely relate and I am sorry you are going through this.

rossvic 09/16/2015

Thank You Freudeli, You don't have to know that there people that can related is good to know; FYI Thank you to God the exam was negative but you know how it is my mind still is thinking if is negative what else could be
