Having Gall Bladder Removal......

It's been  4 months now that I have undergone a Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy procedure/surgery or what we call the GALL BLADDER REMOVAL- awww!!!!!(http://gicare.com/Endoscopy-Center/Laparoscopic-Cholecystectomy.aspx). Imagine when my surgeon showed my husband the gall bladder he removed from me, he was so scared and shocked that it was full of tiny stones or what we call GALLSTONES-we can get these if we eat food with too much cholesterol on it:(http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/153981.php) and these tiny stones were the reasons why I suffered unbearable pain for almost 3 months: including sleepless nights, vomiting and abdominal pain. Many suggested that I should not go for this procedure and should go for self treatment remedy like: detoxification and or what they call gall bladder flush-but you have to do this on your own-meaning your taking a big risk here- because not most of the time it is successful resulting to more complications like stones blocking your bile duct which is very painful and scary. And I don't want this to happen to me so, as a result I went for Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy procedure. Having done this procedure last Sept. 2 has given me discomfort and dilemma in going out for a long period of time in public places. It became my SOP whenever I go somewhere else to check the nearest comfort room  or a toilet in each floor and not to exaggerate things- in each CORNER of the mall I go to and WHY is that- It's simply because I can't hold anymore my pee or vowel; That's the biggest disadvantage of having NO GALL BLADDER at all. Imagine I can't enjoy eating food outside-who knows what will happen next!( have to go to CR frequently at LEAST 3-4X a day just to remove my vowel). In short I became a SUKI of the comfort room and now it is my favorite area of the mall -I'm really a huge FAN now of this area :. I'm writing this blog now not to scare you but I want you to be aware of your body and the foods you take in to your body. If you want to be HEALTHY..... Eat Right..... ;)

Here are some pictures of some stones taken from my Gall Bladder(the rest of the stones where taken for some laboratory tests together with my gall bladder):

sorry if its kinda blurred: stones were put inside a small bottle: They look like whole black pepper

Below are signs of having Gall Stones(taken from this site): http://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/tc/gallstones-symptoms

The pain may:

• Start suddenly in the center of the upper belly (epigastric area) and spread to the right upper back or shoulder blade area. It is usually hard to get comfortable. Moving around does not make the pain go away.
• Prevent you from taking normal or deep breaths.
• Last 15 minutes to 24 hours. Continuous pain for 1 to 5 hours is common.
• Begin at night and be severe enough to wake you.
• Occur after meals.

My First Blogging

I don't know what blogging is or should I say I don't know how to go about it. There are many sites teaching you how to do it, but i prefer experimentation to learn it(click lang dito click land duon) bahala na!!. All I know is that it will take time for me to master the ins and outs of these latest trend in communication. At first, I love reading blogs of my sister in law Michelle http://www.michiphotostory.com/ -which gave me a chance to know different restos and places from her reviews(by the way they love to travel and dining out) , and then came in different giveaway posts(which i love most)-which allow you to win exciting prizes after completing some requirements like: Like, share and tag their posts to your FB account, to tweet about the giveaway and do a blog post  about the giveaway, which made me to decide or create a tweeter and blogger account. However, while I'm thinking what to write on my first blog, I came to realized that BLOGGING is not just reading other blogs BUT it can be fun too if you have one and that somebody is following or reading your blogs. This will give you the chance to be creative, resourceful and to top it all BLOGGING will develop and practice your communication skills. So, I have all the reasons why I should make BLOGGING part of  my routine or maybe my past time(with being a mom, a wife and a teacher)!!!!

GOOD LUCK TO MY BLOGGING!!!

I'm open to any suggestions or comments that will make my blogging more successful!! 

(really need your moral support on this) :)
