RE: Gallbladder diet

[Guest guest]

My Doctor told me to eat a low fat diet because without you

gallbladder you are at risk for high cholesteral. He told me that

without the gallbladder you are at risk for higher then normal

cholesteral levels. He told me it was either the " good " or " bad "

cholesteral but I cannot remember what he said. It was 14 years ago

so things may have changed since then.

My surgeon was most concerned with the 6 weeks after surgery. What apparently happens is that your bile duct will eventually expand in an attempt to create an artificial gallbladder reservoir. 6 weeks gives you time to heal up enough so that can happen without adverse effects. Hmmmm.
