We know this will take care of the pain, nausea & heartburn over the past months - but I hope and pray for more!! Surgeon said although the stones were all contained in the gallbladder which should not itself cause pain - the organ was very severely inflammed. Behcets is an auto-inflammatory disease so I hope and pray this has been the reason for the now nearly 6yrs of non-stop pain. Then my 30yr old daughter can resume a normal life and won't have to resort to more toxic treatments. Time will tell - 'surgical honeymoons' can last a month [this is what they call particularly laproscopic aftermaths - when they put gas in and move organs around in your gut during surgery it gives relief for a while.]
I am hopeful!!
