PLEASE NO!! I had gallbladder surgery in 1986 and would hate to be excluded

because of it!! I have heard different people say " well..there are other

options " but as anyone who has been here a while knows..once you learn all

there is to know in regards to the MGB verses other surgeries...nothing else

will do! I want the best surgery (and surgeon) there is and I would wait for

it if necessary.
