Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Hi Diane, My gallstone is 1.1 cm in size and hard like a crusty rock. How do you know your liver is sluggish? What are the signs? I haven't had any problems in the 7 weeks since surgery. Thank God. I can eat anything at anytime of day or night without any sort of colic or diarrhea. I'm one of the 'lucky' 95% of the people with absolutely no post-surgery problems. Good luck with your health. Barry. > > > > Yes, I have my gallstone in front of me.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 > How do you know your liver is sluggish? What are the signs? Not sure how to explain it. Just feel run down. Have lots of allergies that I didn't have 18 months ago with hayfever type. Kind of a heavy feeling. I just remember feeling like this when my Chiro checked and showed my liver wasn't working like it showed and when I take the natural herbal products within a few days-week I start to feel a lot better. > > I haven't had any problems in the 7 weeks since surgery. That's nice. I didn't start feeling better until at least 6 weeks after surgery. After talking to lots of others about the pain I was in (which when I woke up from surgery, was worse than my attacks)they said it was either a cracked/broken rib or a nicked liver. My other Dr is thinking nicked liver cause I was a lot sicker in the (About) 36 hours since I saw him and had surgery. It felt bad that he even told me to go to the ER cause he said that in all the years he's been seeing me as my Dr. He's never seen me so ill as he did after surgery. I actually wanted to die the next day-week afterwards. > I can eat anything at anytime of day or night without any sort of > colic or diarrhea. I'm one of the 'lucky' 95% of the people with > absolutely no post-surgery problems I wonder where they get those numbers because in my area it's only been about 5% of the people that I know who had the surgery that are happy with it. Everyone else either feels like crap or has other problems since surgery. I can eat anything now without pain but I constantly get diarrhea and pick up toxins now. If my kids get sick I end up getting sick and take tons longer to recover where as before I didn't get sick if they came home with something and if I did it lasted less than a day. I've gotten strep for the first time in my life this past month and in the last 6 months have been ill at least 6x's. Luckily my Father who is a Chiropractor gave me some great info to read about a wonderful product and I'm going to contact him for more info on it. Sounds like something that will really improve my health. Hope you continue to do good. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dear D, Sorry to hear about your problems but according to the millions of people who have had their gb's removed you are definitely in the 5% minority instead of the 95% majority. You will have to take it up with the AMA if you don't believe the numbers. My brother, father, grandfather, and grandmother all had their gb's out without problems. Also to contribute the cause of your sickness's like strep throat or colds to the fact that you don't have your gb anymore is unfounded. Maybe your over all health is suffering because of lack of excersize or dieting correctly? Don't blame everything on the gb. You should find out what your body needs and work on the right solutions there. Good luck with your health and search for happiness. Barry. > > How do you know your liver is sluggish?

Don't blame everything on the gb. You should > find out what your body needs and work on the right solutions there. I happen to walk quite a bit. I was raised by a Chiropractor that practices very excellent eating habits, No sugar or junk food and we ate very healthy. Healthy enough that we didn't need vaccines. Most of my family has never had health problems. I've also been checked by a wonderful Dr and he's found that toxins from my gallbladder leaked into my system and has cause my immune system to weaken. The only difference that has occurred was my sugery. Why am I even explaining myself to you? You don't know me and it's so easy to assume that I don't do anything but sit around eating bon bons. Sorry, that's not the case. I know more about true eating healthy than most people were ever taught thanks to my Parents healthy ways. As far as the AMA. Your not serious are you. Who do you think backs them up. Medical Dr.s. Most MD's are not going to report problems. In my family and extended family there are 6 off the top of my head that have either died, became seriously ill or damaged from the Medical. My mother was told she would die within 2 years and couldn't have kids, there are 7 of us and alternative medicine kept her alive 30 years longer. My nephew almost died in the hospital and if it wasn't for a nurse slipping up his parents wouldn't have never know about the cover up. A cousin had her Gallbladder taken out and was told it was perfectly healthy. Opps wrong test. Some of these DR's really need to go back to school. I'm only hitting the iceberg. It would take me months to type up all the stories from friends that have worked with Dr's and the cover ups they've seen. Ugh. So don't trust the AMA just cause they can give you statistics. Some Dr's that try to come forward about things that go on get black listed. If you have a family to feed you can't afford that so you put up with it. Average Deaths per year from FDA approved Prescription Druhs is 100,000. and that doesn't even touch medical malpractice or wrong procedures.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 D, To be honest with you...I just don't get your point. What is it you want to say? That the AMA is wrong? That doctors are bad people? That you have post-surgery problems? O.K. so you do. So you should have tried to flush before opting for surgery. We heard all that. What would be really helpful is if you can tell us what you are doing to correct your problems since you don't have the gb anymore. Maybe that would help someone who has to go through an operation like you did. We all want to be healthy and happy with or without our gb's. Can you give us some suggestions on how to heal from your surgery problems?

Basically I have to rebuild my immune system and find a way to keep the toxins out that keeps showing up since the surgery. I would say that if your going to get your gallbladder out plan on a liver cleansing by DR. cobat or someone else and doing some of these flushes. I didn't find out about them in time so only got to do a couple of them. Also take Dr. 's formula for the liver and gallbladder. One of his product someone took and within days dumped a whole cup of Hard Gallstones. And don't be surprised if your surgery doesn't leave you in heaven. I read articles from Health care providers that worked with Gallbladder patients and she said she was amazed at how many of those patients were back within 3 years for more surgery's do to gallbladder type problems. She decided to look into alternative/natural healing and found greater results. And no I wouldn't trust the AMA Most people that join this list are looking for alternatives the AMA does not support alternatives. > > Barry.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Are doctors helping you (or alternative doctors) in rebuilding your immune system? What is the course of action to do that? I've never heard of anyone having to rebuild the immune system because they have removed the gallbladder. Liver maybe but not the gallbladder. Unless the liver is bad already this doesn't sound correct. Also what is the name of that product? If you told everyone in here and they tried it they wouldn't have anymore colic attacks and probably wouldn't even need to flush anymore. Also, this wonder drug could be a good investment business for me to look into if it works as well as you advertise. So far, in my particular case, finally getting rid of the pain with or without the gb has put me in heaven. If I ever have biliary pain from my liver and common duct I will definitely try a flush again. Do you think that the flush will help you to rebuild your immune system? Maybe by cleaning the liver this will happen? Good luck with your health. In the mean time I'm going to look for information that can prove that removing the gallbladder will effect the immune system.

She knew it was female related but her Dr. wouldn't see it. Like I've said I think it depends on what stat people are in cause the Majority of people who have had the surgery weather Lapro or open have not been happy. At least I knew enough to not go to the hospital up the street cause another hospital has to redo their work. Also mine wasn't considered Emergency just in enough pain to make me say yes. So they sceduled me as soon as they could which was several hours later. D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 D, The research that I found on the web before opting for surgery revieled to me that the difference of risk between open or lapro surgery is very minimal. Like the differences from .01% to .05%. And 3% to 5% for other complications, etc. I had open surgery which was less risking on all counts. It is also easiler for them to remove the gb clearly without using the scope, etc. I had scheduled surgery which is also less risky than an emergency procedure.

I never said that these were wonder products I said that these were somethings I've found out about after my surgery and yes I have mentioned them to the list several times. I don't know if anyone has tried them. But the chinese one I learned from this list years ago. The one from DR. you can find out at www.herbsfirst.com and it's not a multi level thing so forget trying to make money off it. I think the flush will help me but you've got to realize that when you are taken care of a family you can't just up and do certian things. You have to plan them out and if you end up to sick when you plan to do it you don't do it. As for the liver. My liver was fine before my gallbladder was removed. It doesn't matter weather you can prove or not that my surgery cause me problems. The fact is I've lived with my body for over 30 years and you don't even know me. I know how I feel and I know the changes. I know my body better than any MD that I've seen. I know how I felt before surgery and I know the Hell I went through after. I know how many times a year I got sick which was rare, before my surgery and I know how many times I've been sick since and it's been tons. So you go to your Dr' and be happy and I'll go to mine. My Chiropractor has done more for me and honestly saved my life with all of this. He thought it would be a simple key hole surgery like others he's seen and he was so mad when he saw how sick I was after wards. I went straight to him from the hospital and he couldn't believe how much worse I was in less than 36 hours. He did some test and gave me some stuff and said that if there wasn't improvement by tomorrow I was going to have my liver tested. He was very worried and scared for me. He was very mad also that when I called the DR's they kept blowing me off. They didn't believe I was in pain. They thought I was one of those whimpy woman that can't handle pain which ticked me to no end cause I have had my babies natural with horrid back labor so I know pain and this was worse. Maybe its the MD's and Sugeons in my area but they are known for not listening to you or not taking you seriously (especially if your a woman) and boy do they hate to be questioned. I'm doing better since going back to my Chiropractor when we can afford it so there is no need to keep this thread going I think. It's not really a friendly one but feeling like you trying to prove that my pain and suffering isn't from surgery and me trying to prove myself and I've had enough of that thank you. I and my husband know what I'm going through and we don't need someone trying to prove it wrong. So lets end this. I shouldn't have come back to this list. It's just that years ago it was very alternative and natural and I wanted to see if anyone else found any knew treatements for cleansing livers beside the flushes. I don't mind giving them a try but they aren't something that you can just jump into. You have to plan them. Good bye D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
