The doctor has given me strong pain killers in the mean time.

Sorry to hear this but I thought you may have it. The pain is indeed terrible but the keyhole surgery not too bad thankfully. I had to wait for some months for surgery as mine had become badly infected and I needed a week in hospital to clear that up first. I was only in 2 nights after the surgery and although it was a bit sore afterwards I have had no adverse reaction to any foods and I love dairy products, especially cheese. If anything my digestion feels better since and I get far less indigestion and reflux than before the op.
You'll be fine Weenie and it's far better dealt with than left to flare up and possible cause complications.
