Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 Unless there is pain, I agree that doing other things to heal the gallbladder instead of having it removed is preferable. <>Roni Immortality exists!

Please bear in mind that having your gb removed will not necessarily solve your problems.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2010 Report Share Posted January 21, 2010 I would be careful to ascertain your gb needs to be removed before proceeding- just because a doctor tells you so does not necessarily mean it is so. Get 2nd and 3rd opinions - 4th opinions if you have to - spend some times in the archives for this group - they are filled with valuable info - proactive is the operative word- no pun intended- as u have probably heard most gb removals are unnecessary but there are not that many surgeons that will tell u that- good luck FB On Jan 20, 2010, at 11:11 PM, Roni Molin wrote: > Unless there is pain, I agree that doing other things to heal the gallbladder instead of having it removed is preferable. > > <>Roni > Immortality exists! > It's called knowledge! > > Just because something isn't seen > doesn't mean it's not there<> > > > > From: elan_spire <elan_spire@...> > Subject: Re: GALLBLADDER PREOP > gallstones > Date: Wednesday, January 20, 2010, 8:57 PM > > Liz, > > Why not do some liver flushes and see if that helps improve your condition so you can keep your gall bladder instead of having it sliced out of you?
