She Thought It Was Just Acidity Until One Painful Episode Changed Everything

For Neha Verma, undergoing gallstone treatment at Pristyn Care was not just about addressing recurring abdominal pain – it was about regaining control over her daily life. The 34-year-old HR manager from Delhi had always maintained a busy schedule, balancing work responsibilities and family commitments, until her health began to interfere.
“It started as a sharp pain in my upper abdomen,” she recalls. “At first, I thought it was just acidity or something I ate.”
Initially, the episodes were occasional and manageable. However, over time, the pain became more intense and frequent, often occurring after meals. It was sometimes accompanied by nausea and discomfort that lasted for hours, making it difficult for her to focus on work or carry out routine activities.
Like many others, Neha tried to manage the symptoms on her own. She adjusted her diet, avoided oily foods, and relied on over-the-counter medications for temporary relief. While these measures helped briefly, the problem kept returning.
“I kept hoping it would settle with lifestyle changes,” she says. “But the pain kept coming back, and each episode felt worse than the last.”
The situation escalated when one severe episode forced her to seek immediate medical attention. Following diagnostic tests, she was informed that she had gallstones and would require surgical treatment for a permanent solution.
The idea of surgery made her anxious, particularly concerns about recovery time and disruption to her routine. While exploring options, she came across Pristyn Care and decided to book a consultation.
During the consultation, the specialist reviewed her reports and explained that laparoscopic gallbladder removal (lap cholecystectomy) was a safe and commonly performed procedure. The doctor also discussed the benefits, including smaller incisions, reduced discomfort, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.
“The doctor explained everything clearly and addressed all my concerns,” Neha says. “It made me feel more confident about going ahead.”
After discussing it with her family, she decided to proceed with the surgery. The procedure was scheduled promptly, and the coordination – from pre-surgery preparation to hospital arrangements – was handled efficiently.
On the day of the surgery, Neha felt reassured by the support of the medical team. The laparoscopic procedure was completed successfully, and she was monitored closely during the initial recovery phase.
“The entire process was smooth and well-organized,” she says. “I was able to move around sooner than I expected.”
Her recovery progressed steadily over the following days. By following medical advice, maintaining a balanced diet, and attending follow-up consultations, she gradually resumed her normal routine.
Within a few weeks, she was back at work without the recurring pain that had once disrupted her life.
“The difference was significant,” she shares. “I no longer had to worry about sudden pain after meals.”
Today, Neha is able to manage her work and personal life without discomfort. Reflecting on her experience, she believes that timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment were key to her recovery.
“I waited longer than I should have,” she says. “But choosing the right treatment made all the difference.”
For Neha, gallstone treatment at Pristyn Care was not just a medical procedure – it was a step toward restoring comfort, stability, and peace of mind in her everyday life.
