Marcia,

I had what turned out to be gallstone attack/spasms a few months after my third child was born. I guess hormones can cause gall stones/spasms in the gall bladder. All was well untill 3 years later (and now on chemo) when I had another bout. The pain is something else, that is for sure!

I had already decided to get an ooph (I was 38, highly er+, pr+) so my general surgeon and gynecologist did a two for one surgery. Literally they used the same laporoscopic technique, and shared incisions.

I know it is a very personal decision, but wanted you to know that someone else had both done at once Other than feeling like a colicky baby for a couple of days, my surgery had an easy recovery.
