Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Well, I joined the group in June after having an attack and hearing the news that I had two gall stones. I have read and correspondended with several people about the sucess or luck with getting rid of them. I continued to get sicker even after trying some flushes, chaning my diet. etc. My pain was not a hurting, stabbing pain like the attacks, but throbing.. I stomach grew in size. I sought the opinion of three doctors and all recommended that I have it removed. So, after feeling sick all summer and feeling there was no alternative, I had it removed Tuesday... And, I know alot of readers will be disappointed in that, but I am glad I did. My gall bladder was enlarged and was infected, which could have burst and caused septic shock in my body. And the stones were a little bit larger than marbles. I beleive in keeping organs that you come into the world with also, but now I beleive that I made the right decision for me. I was sick and not getting any better. I just want to send good wishes and luck to everyone in this group. I have learned alot from everyone, but sometimes youjust need to listen to what your body is trying to tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well Not to fret my father had his gallbladder removed in 1970- he is now 87 years old and has not missed it one bit- of course he has always maintained a great diet - lots of greens and fruit and fish and as he got older he completely eliminated the little meat he did consume By the way did u know about the AF Beta food before your surgery ? good luck FB On Aug 21, 2008, at 11:00 AM, sward4314 wrote: > Well, I joined the group in June after having an attack and hearing > the news that I had two gall stones.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 99% of all doctors recommend removal. Just because everyone eats at the Olive Garden does not make the food good. Personally I would have checked out natural doctors or MD's with natural experience. Also, usually the doctors who recommend you to go get your GB ripped out get a piece of the action from the surgeon. So viola, they have a piece of the action and the doctors think they know something.
