So wake the wife up at 1 am to take me to the hospital where drew blood and found white count too high. Sooo after all the scans, a bad gall bladder was determined and had it removed. Hospital claims to be breaking records for this procedure. So now on to recovery. Pain level way down but just felt a gross nauseation, lack of apatite, lost 10 lbs . So a month later its starting to ease a bit getting back to normal. According to doctors take it easy on greazzy foods and dairy but no real restrictions. I'm 66 and I thought this pain was a result of all blood pressure, A1C crap I was on. TBB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Seems to be more common today - my son - 32- had his removed last year . My niece - 18 - had hers removed last month. Get better soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't let them remove mine - I opted to stop eating fried foods, greasy foods, etc, and haven't had an attack since. That was in 2014. Sometimes it's the only solution - to have surgery - but I took at look at who was telling me it had to come out. It was the gallbladder surgeon, who gets paid to remove gallbladders StormCrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

It was the gallbladder surgeon, who gets paid to remove gallbladders I am same as you, I ended up in the hospital about 2 years ago with a bad attack, did ultra sounds and a battery of tests, came back with gallbladder full of sludge and stones. Changed eating habits and have not had an attack since, I can feel one building now if I have too much red meat or greasy stuff, so I will hit the water hard and it goes away. Dr said I will likely need it out eventually, I told her I will be keeping it for as long as possible lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
