My symptoms were the pain. It was long enough ago that I can't recall what it was like, but my doctor knew to get either an ultrasound or a CT, I can't remember. After that I saw a surgeon, had the little mini lap surgery and the rest is history. One good thing came out of it. Our best man at our wedding had moved out of town and we hadn't seen him in years, I mean years. So my husband comes up to visit me in my room with this big guy with him. I was so happy. He later married our good friend. so good things do happen. I'm not sure if a GB surgery is supposed to be a matchmaker but it worked for them.
