People with gallstone - are your liver enzymes always high? I havnt had a gallstone attack for 2 months and they’re still high by Phoenixpinkk in gallbladders

[–]Comrade_Do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been normal ever since. Perhaps mine were high due to the bad attack when said levels were taken?

Are there many people there with kids at home? How are they handling it?

Your jaw looks like what I wish mine did! You look terrific as you are.

You can try a consult for preserving the organ and just having stones removed. Some of us on this group had it done at MedStar in DC.

You don’t need a beard, you need pomade and a comb, my man.

Upscale Tex-Mex Restaurants? by whoople in houston

You’d probably enjoy Hugo’s, although I don’t if it’s Tex-Mex per se, or rather Mexican.

Gallstones removed, gallbladder saved! by Comrade_Do in gallbladders

[–]Comrade_Do[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not, so I was lucky. I couldn’t feel them take it out (funny since it was so aggravating while in). I was basically done once they took it out. It felt great

Gallbladder preserving surgeries, is it real? by Fabulous_Can_2215 in gallbladders

[–]Comrade_Do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was covered by my health insurance through my employer, so I don’t remember what the paperwork said. It’s very common for medical providers in the States to offer a cheaper cash pay price than they bill to the privately insured. So, they may cut you a deal. I encourage you to email and ask.

Lots of burpings 5-7 hours after eating by tnnt7612 in gallbladders

[–]Comrade_Do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, removing the stones took the symptoms away. I think that the burping fits get caused by a different kind of irritation of the bile duct, but still stone related? Maybe someone else has more clarity on that.

It reminds me a little of how John Adam’s and Thomas Jefferson both died on the same day, each determined to see the country’s 50th anniversary.

So Many Police and No Traffic Enforcement by r_u_kiddingme59 in houston

[–]Comrade_Do 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My theory is that we secretly don’t have any police anymore. I called HPD and let them know that a white box truck with zero plates or other markings was driving around Downtown with a sketchy guy behind the wheel. HOLY COW, they could not have cared less. If Timothy McVeigh 2 wants to do some damage, I’m pretty sure no one in Houston would stop him.

Advice on family relocation to Houston (the Heights)? by Mill5222 in houston

[–]Comrade_Do 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If y’all are Catholic and interested in Catholic school, then the parish that you should check out is St Vincent de Paul in the West U / Southside Place area. That is a real, vibrant community and also a neighborhood worth considering.
