Re: Surgery In 6 Days Time..woohoo!!!

Hi ,

I too have an appointment with the surgeon next week. But I am going

to cancel my appointment. I am determined to keep my gallbladder!

I would encourage you to take charge of your body and your health. I

am a 34 yr old overweight mother of two and I am taking charge. I am

doing Dr. Cabot's Liver Cleansing Diet and taking supplements to

shrink whatever stones I have over a period of time. I just do not

want to have it out. I see this most recent gallbladder attack as a

wake up call to me that I have to change the way I eat and I have to

loose weight. My Dad just passed away a couple of months ago and the

autopsy showed that one of his arteries was completely closed and two

were 90% clogged. I have the same eating habits as him and it is

time for me to make a change.

Whatever your decision is just be 100% sure that is what YOU want.

And just be prepared. I have had the doctors and nurses questioning

my desire to keep my gallbladder as if I am crazy because no one else

has ever questioned them. I get all the horror stories about how if

I do not do it now they will have to take it out in emergency surgery

in the middle of the night if I get gangrene. Well I am in charge of

my health and I am not going to let it get to that point.

Do you have access to a holistic doctor? You may have to ask around

to find one. I was actually referred to a holistic doctor by my

primary care physician because she knew how strongly I felt about not

having my gallbladder removed. The holistic doctor is covered by my

health insurance as a second opinion for my gallbladder surgery. (BTW

and his opinion is that I can keep my GB)

, good luck with whatever you decide!
