I had gallstones taken out ~ 6 yrs ago. The interesting part is that they were taken out of my small intestine!

I have Crohn's disease which caused three constrictions in my small intestine. The bile pooled up in front of each of them. I had to have other intestiny things done so they had to do the slice and dice version.

They took out three stones the size of marbles. [Nothing to match your egg, Wolf] The surgeon said he hadn't heard of anything like it (being in my intestine) and was going to write it up for a journal [Yeah, I bet he says that to all the guys.]

I didn't realize this was an old thread until about half way through. Glad everything came out ok, Wolf. Apropos of nothing - your surgery was on my birthday last year.
