I had my gallbladder removed about 15 years ago. That was long before I was diagnosed with CF. The surgeon's report described mucus filled ducts and calcified golf ball sized gall stones. The surgeon told me he'd never seen one with so much mucus or in the state mine was in when they removed it. You'd think the pathology or mucus might have raised a CF flag, but it didn't. So I went undiagnosed for another 15 years.... <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0"> ~Juliet

My son had a similar start. He had elevated liver levels and they put him on actigall. Same stuff though--meconium ileus, ileostomy, take down, jaundice, anemic, blood transfusions, blood infection, lack of weight gain, NG tube, vomiting.
