Can Someone Answer Questions For Me?!?!?

September 24, 2002

Heya Everyone )

After having a thorough read through different posts in regards to

Gallstones/Gallbladder, It has left me with some HUGE amounts of

doubts about having this Surgery to remove my Gallbladder and stones

in 6 days time. I never knew there were other options to avoid the

operation to remove the gb as the surgeon/doctor never told me which

I now find rather unfair of him.

I asked him of options and said that the only option I have to be

somewhat pain-free and back to a normal lifestyle was to have the

operation and well obviously I was fine with that until now because I

didnt know of flushes and other options. Rather annoyed now to say

the least...

I would really appreciate if people out there in this support group

help to relieve some of this doubt and also answer some questions if

you all can. Look below..thanks.

1. Is it common to affect most or all people to have the runs after

having the gb removed??

2. Are the runs as bad as what people are making them out to be here??

3. What are the other options I could take into consideration??

(maybe too late now since im off to the Pre-Admission appt tomorrow

and YES more questions will be asked now)

4. With having the runs does it still cause on-going weightloss since

you are unable to keep anything inside of you for too long before it

is coming back out again?? (sorry if that sounds a little yuck!)

5. Are you in much pain once the gb is taken out and if so how much

and is there any difficulites that I could experience after my

surgery??

6. This gasing of the stomach, does it cause much discomfort once you

have awoken from the surgery like does it give you more gas both ends

or just pain???

7. I know we can live without a gb even though it can cause

complications etc but wouldnt you all prefer to have this out to stop

the pain or just put up with it?? I would prefer to have the gb

out..it would be crazy not too. correct?

**I think that is about it for now question wise and would love to

hear your thoughts, suggestions. comments and answers etc before I go

for my surgery**

THANKS HEAPS!!!

Luv xoxo
