Removing my gall bladder is the worst thing that has ever happened to me physically. My digestive system has been a mess, 24/7 ever since it has been removed.
It is a issue for me every single day.


My wife had her's removed, then came down with pancreatitis. We made three trips to the ER before she got straightened out. Removing the gallbladder is typically an "easy" surgery, if cutting on you is ever easy, but not always.

Hope your issues improve, she still has some digestive issues too.

I'm 20 years post cholecysectomy and the digestive issues are still there. I can deal with them by drinking a lot of water daily but it's definitely annoying. I had several attacks and mine was getting necrotic so I had no choice when I finally got it removed. Went to the ER in Starkvegas at 3AM one morning when I was at Moo State for a CE conference. That was an experience. I was doubled over in the waiting room sweating and a nurse came out and asked "What's your pain 1-10". I said about 8. She said" Oh it ain't either".

The first few months it took awhile for my body to adjust. Psyllium husk (Metamucil without all of the added shite) was a life saver.

As did I. I went home the day of the procedure only to come back 4 days later with Pancreatitis. I then stayed in the hospital for 5days. Unreal

I have tried a few different meds and the ony thing that works for me is the powder at bedtime. Its not a fix but it slows it down some
