A general question for PN sufferers. Has anyone had gallbladder surgery with PN and if so were there any issues? Not an exactly a question for idle curiosity since I made a slight detour from work last night directly to the ER, did not pass go and did not collect $200.00 but did remove my wife from a Yoga class to accompany me on the sojurn. I figured after a day long cold sweat and constant pain in the back - sort of like a virtual apple coring and you're the apple that this was not good - same could be said for the last week or so but some of us are slow learners!

Long story short, kidneys and heart are fine - real good news for heart given my history but gallbladder is " filled w/ stones" according to the ER Doc - like this was a prize of some sort. Scheduled a HIDA/CCK exam for confirmation and we'll go from there depending on the results. If it requires surgery just wondering if anyone has had the expereince and how they fared - open or laprascopic?

Thanks for any info
