Re: gallbladder cancer-regeneration

Dave:

Do you actually mean the Gallbladder removed from me in 1986 will re-generate

like the hoped-for spleen re-generation that my daughter-in-law might have?

In her case they left, or rather, attached a piece of her spleen somewhere

inside with the hope that it might re-generate. That is something I did not

know could occur.

However, if I am not mistaken, they did not leave any part of my Gallbladder and

wonder if they are doing this routinely these days? I thought most are done

Laproscopically and they take it all!

As regards my diet, I have not been denied any food nor have a problem with any

food (I'd have been better off if I had) except that over the years I noted that

meals simply take longer for me to digest or at least, I feel full longer than

most people with gallbladders.

I believe the body will regenerate an enlarged vessel to act as a bile

gland somewhere between the liver and the duct to the intake of the

stomach - that's what it uses to regulate the acidity of the stomach -

it can tell if there is no reservoir for bile. If you have no bile duct,

I'd expect you may have problems with greasy foods. If they totally

removed and tied off the ducts, don't know what the body would do with

it. Without the bile, the stomach runs too acidic / OR, it doesn't get

acidic enough since there is a constant stream of bile entering the

stomach, instead of releasing bile only when needed.
