My missed appendicitis

[Chelsmarie26]

Hello,

i am a 22 year old female who has been suffering from stomach issues since I was 15. I have seen many doctors, been told I've had IBS, lactose intolerance, constipation, and so on. Two weeks ago I finally got my pc to refere me to a surgeon. I met with him once and finally I've been listened too...

I just recently had my gallbladder and appendix removed on Friday July 15th. I had a hida scan done a week before surgery that revealed I had a sluggish gallbladder.

The appendix were taken out because I have had numerous trips to the ED with lower right abdominal pain.

I got my results from my surgery today and come to find out I was also suffering from appendicitis. No elevated white blood cells, no fever, no vomiting, and a negative CT.

I also was informed that i had gallstones.( which did not show up on the hida scan)

if you're suffering, and you believe something is not right fight for yourself. You're your only advocate. You're not crazy.
