Hi - This is wisewoman10! I made an eleventh hour decision to postpone my surgery that was scheduled for this past Wednesday. The combination of feeling that it was premature (Only one gallbladder attack so far) combined with a family member who's been hospitalized for a week needing my help as he returns home was enough to change my decision. In the meantime, I have started taking Milk Thistle and Tudca to see if I can help improve my bile flow. Western medicine doctors generally won't advise this stuff, but there's plenty of evidence that these can help your biliary system flow better. Not ready to give up an organ until I at least try!
