Guest guest Posted July 3, 2003 Report Share Posted July 3, 2003 Can anyone who have had this surgery please enlighten me on how your experience went. Was recovery painful or no? How long did you stay in the hospital? These types of things. I have never had surgery before and it kinds of scares me, because the only time I have had to be in the hospital was when I had my baby. No broken bones when I was growing up, no stitches or nothing like that. So please help me to stop stressing so much. I have heard it should be fine I could go home that same day or the next day and its a common surgery performed all the time. But you see why I am still kind of nervous. Thank you.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 I too was told I " had " to have my gallbladder taken out, as were many of the people on this list. By reading many of the postings here, I learned that there is a non- surgical way to rid your body of gallstones. There are risks to gallbladder surgery. One in 200 get the main bile duct accidently snipped, causing serious liver issues. Way too high a risk for me! Many have chronic, run to the bathroom diarrhea- forever. When facing surgery, it's ALWAYS better to be sure there isn't another, less invasive way to take care of the problem. I hope you will read, read, read, learn about liver flushes, go to curezone.com, (.org?) and postpone your surgery until you are absolutely sure that there is no other way. So many people here have gotten rid of their gallstones themselves, without the risks of surgery. I am about to do my first liver flush- I was told by ultrasound that I have many, many stones. Can you tell us what problems you are having? Please ask any questions you have, but luckily, you have come to the right place.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 Also, go to the files section of this site and read the file called " What my doctor didn't want me to know about gall bladder surgery " It's very enlightening. You are probably getting this list through email. If you are, you have to go to groups, then my groups, then if you are a member of more than one group, click on the gallstone group. To the left is where you find the " file " section. Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 5, 2003 Report Share Posted July 5, 2003 I am going to flush as long as I can to cleanse the gallbladder, and try to build liver/GB, but if I do someday have my GB taken out, I have 5 friends who have had theirs out all within the past year...amazes me that so many all at once, guess it must be the age that we are. Anyway, they all did well and are doing fine, despite all the scarey stories I have heard by visiting web sites of those who promote the natural way. I have relatives and friends that have had theirs out the old-fashioned way before they did the laperscopic surgery, that lived to a good old age. Diarrhea seems to be the biggest thing some struggle with, though none of my friends or relatives are having trouble with this, and there are natural remedies for that. I do feel that I eat better having my " challenged " gallbladder because greasy foods irritate it. L.
