My wife had to have hers removed about 10 years ago. Hope you get it out soon so you can continue eating delicious, grease-filled food without the pain.

several of my older relatives had to have theirs removed when they were in their 40s due to stones, so it's a matter of time for me probably. i haven't had any crippling gall bladder attacks that they had from time to time for years beforehand though, so i guess so far so good. i remember they told my dad he wouldn't be able to eat greasy food as much anymore after it was removed, but if anything he eats worse now than he did then and seems fine. yellow bile, what the gently caress is it even doing? apparently nothing.

Had mine removed pre-COVID within a year of my first attack.  Sorry you’re stuck waiting OP. I had a quick recovery from the surgery, hope you will too.It did take some time (about a year) for digestion to settle down and I’m still a little punished if I go too greasy. But I know three other people who had theirs out and none of them have any problems now at all.  Bad Purchase posted:yellow bile, what the gently caress is it even doing? apparently nothing. You actually still have it once your gallbladder is out, you just don’t have a stockpile ready to dump into your digestive system all at once in response to a delicious fried meal anymore.

After years of trying to figure out what was wrong with her gallbladder, Linda finally had surgery. She was excited to finally have it taken care of and was looking forward to feeling better. Unfortunately, the surgery went wrong and Linda ended up with a colostomy bag.

Had mine removed a little over a year ago. I hadn't had an attack since I was 15. And back then I didn't really know what that pain was but the early internet suggested gallbladder and the parents said shut up and go back to bed. So that was that for 25 years. Guess I got lucky with no more attacks. Then I went in for a turned-40 physical and the ultrasound spotted so many stones that the docs basically pulled out a calendar to schedule surgery, and then remembered that they should probably ask if I wanted the surgery at all. It went about as well as it could go. Knocked out. Two hours later, I was one organ less. The lead surgeon apologized for cutting a bigger hole in my navel than expected because I had a fuckton of stones. They let me keep about "a third to a quarter" of them, which was presented to me in a tupperware container as I was still coming out of anesthesia and I thought it was trail mix - hazelnuts and raisins. Anyway, I still eat whatever I want, no digestive issues. I seem to have hit the jackpot with that one.

How did you end up like this? Could a genetic disposition put you at a disadvantage or were you consuming copious amounts of whatever food landed you in this predicament

I went to the ER after a really bad gallstone attack, and they told me to get it taken out in the next few weeks. Less than two days later, my gallbladder tried to kill me in retaliation by sending stones up to block off my liver and my surgery got fast-tracked It's been a year and a half and I still occasionally get a reaction if I eat too much greasy/fatty foods at once, so my diet has gotten a lot better lately. It's kinda like being lactose intolerant; you can technically eat anything you want but you have to put up with the lovely consequences

You need to wait for a year? Hell, I'll do it this weekend, probably for much cheaper too. I'll even put a brand new blade on my hacksaw, no extra charge.

I had a gallbladder attack about 9 months ago. First one ever, but I did lose a decent amount of weight before it happened so the doctor said to wait and see. I had another one a couple of weeks ago. I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow to talk about if it needs to be removed. Gallbladder attacks are awful.

And the hazelnut-looking ones sound like dice when they clink together. I can post pics if you want. But I have to study up on how to upload photos on the forums; it's been years since I've done that.

Mellow_ posted:seriously, they suck I had this done. You will be amazed how much constant pain you've been ignoring once it's gone. You'll also probably need to seriously change your diet or poo poo very weird for the rest of your life. But worth it compared to the pain. Although my surgeon hosed up and left my bile duct leaking into my chest cavity for like a week after the operation and when I went to an ER they thought I was just looking for pain pills so they sent me home without checking. Couldn't sleep, would sweat through towels I'd lay out on the couch so my wife could rest. That was worse pain than the gallbladder. I ended up with a terrible infection and had to stay in the hospital for another week where they pumped me full of dilaudid and antibiotics every 6 hours. They drew blood every 6 hours too... in the end the veins in my arm were shot so they started drawing from my hands. I probably came very close to dying, like way closer than anyone ever told me. But overall, if you don't have a lovely surgeon and then a failure of an ER, you should be better off in the end.

I totally forgot that for a year or two before my surgery, I had a constant, pulsing ache in my right shoulderblade area. No amount of massage or hot baths fixed it, and a few times it was enough to keep me from sleeping. I thought it was just stress or how I carried my shoulder bag. But, nope. The doc said that's totally the gallstones. I hadn't realized how much pain I was in all that time until a few days after surgery I realized the soreness was gone.

No amount of massage or hot baths fixed it, and a few times it was enough to keep me from sleeping. Yeah, for me it was recurring back pain that was never properly diagnosed until I went to the ER. It was about 3 months of terrible back pain episodes every few weeks, and going to a walk-in clinic twice where each time they just gave me a prescription for Naproxen and sent me away without any other tests. I never made the connection that flare-ups were happening an hour or two after eating meals.

the existence of the gallbladder implies we should be calling our plain "bladder" a urinebladder or pissbladder to avoid confusion similar to how a gallon bottle of milk should be referred to as a milkbladder
