I had mine out when I was 16 week's pregnant, and surgery was delayed to get me that far into the pregnancy (2nd trimester better than 1st for that sort of thing). Enduring the repeated attacks was no fun, and I felt instantly better after surgery.

And, for the record, the "baby" is 19 and made Dean's List both semesters her freshman year. Obviously, she's no worse for the wear

My sister had hers taken out. Day surgurey as well. Two days later she was having abdominal pain. A day later the pain was bad enough she was crying and shaking. Took her to the ER. They were convinced she was constipated and gave her 2 enimas in 6-8 hours. She stayed in the ER for 2 nights with no relief. They dismissed her. She was back 2 days later still in pain. Finally, someone ordered an MRI (i think). It showed she was leaking bile into her abdominal cavity for a week from several small ducts that should have been closed off. After a second surgurey and a scar from her belly button to the side of her breast she is fine. It's been almost 2 years, she had to dramatically change her diet. I don't know what the trigger foods are for her, but it was definetely a process.

My newest issue right now is that my stitches under my skin are starting to push through one of the incisions. I will watch it for a day or two and see if it gets any better. oy vey.
