Gallstones - bloody hell!

Just back from spending the night in A&E where I was admitted with severe abdominal pain. It came out of nowhere and the nearest thing I could relate the intensity to was contractions!

They've diagnosed it as gallstones and have booked me for an urgent scan then gallbladder removal.

I was wondering how others found the pain during an attack - I was terrified and really want to avoid it happening again so will be eating a very low fat Christmas dinner...

Also, assuming I have the op, how did others find it? It's come right out of the blue for me so wanted to hear from anyone else who's been through the same!

odd twinge under rib
do you mean the thing that feels like metal fingers gripping and poking you from the inside but which passes quite quickly?
I think I've been getting that now and again for the past 10 or more years but I've only recently realised it's probably a gallbladder thing!
KylieKangaroo, glad to hear you're now out the other side, did you have to push much to get on the waiting list?
