Glad you are feeling a little better today. Please go to a&e if it gets too bad no matter what Christine says, she obviously has never suffered the pain of gallstones. I know that they are wanting to do both together but the pain is like Julie said far worse than child birth. I always said when I had mine at least with childbirth you new the pain would wear off in a fews mins but not with these horrible things. I had one stone that was about an inch and a half in size and loads of little ones. I hope they give you this op soon.
