Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Agnes, My gallbladder measured 10cm by 4cm. And the walls were 4mm thick instead of the normal 2mm. The collapsed gb looked smaller once it was out. The smell was acidic in my opinion but it could have been because it was mixed with solution from surgery. The stone has no smell that I can detect clearly. The bile and insides of the gb must have a pretty rancid type smell to it but I wasn't really conscienciously thinking staight at the post surgery condition. :-) Sorry I can't tell you more.
