Re: ....Re:Who else in the group has a low functioning GB?

[Guest guest]

I really haven't had any since the attack in January.

except for bloating and gas. i have been eatting

mainly bland

foods. Alittle fat, a little dairy (cheese, cottage

cheese)Silk milk. Lots and lots of veggies, I am going

to start milk thistle.

I went to the Surgeon today, because my doc reffered

me. He said, I really don't " HAVE " to get my GB out. I

have no stones or sludge. Hida Scan showed my GB

function at 21%. I guess the range is 35-75 or so....

Surgeon said, he doesn't care what the number is if

it's lower than 35.. means it's low functioning. You

have gall bladder disease. He wasn't pushy at

all,which was nice. I expected to be pushed into

surgery. He's really NOT so worried since I don't have

bad symptoms. he said it's my choice and I will know

when the symptoms are bad enough. Also, i was told if

I exercise and eat right i may never have to get it

out. I am still researching, whether or not I want

surgery. We are going on a cruise next month and he

said if I wanted to I could have surgery in the

morning and go home that afternoon (97%). He has done

over 4000 surgeries. Sorry for rambling... just got

all this info a little while ago... thanks for

listening.

WANT surgery? What an interesting way to put it. Have you done any of the

flushes? If your surgeon isn't pushing you to have surgery (which is amazing in

itself), I would think you'd do everything in your power to save an organ that

provides a valuable function to the body.
