Only a couple days before I went to the ER my doctor told me that if I had vomiting or fever and the pain lasted for more than 30 minutes, to go the ER ASAP.
I feel totally normal now after having my gallbladder out except now I get intense cravings for salt which I didn't before. I have no idea why. Other than that I feel normal.

And, no more pain!
I know it's scary, Anika. I was terrified the whole time. I was terrified to have surgery, even after 2 c-sections. But, it all went well and it will go well with you and you'll be okay!
