Hi all,
I'm going for an abdominal ultrasound on Thursday and I'm terrified. Not of the procedure, but that they'll find something. I'm being sent because for the past month or more I've been having pain in my upper abdominal region (just under my diaphram.) My anxiety managed to convince me that it was my gallbladder and since then I've stopped leaving the house. My Dr. Said he thought it was probably my IBS, but he's sending me for the ultrasound just to make sure. I'm so worried it'll be my gallbladder and I'll have to have surgery - I don't ever want to have surgery. I'm so afraid of being put under and being on a breathing machine. The thought terrifies me. Looking for good thoughts and reassurance. I know abdominal ultrasounds are very common around these parts.
