Unless your gallbladder is filled with stones that they can’t get rid of, or is actually dead, don’t let them take it out! Oh, my God, I almost died after they took mine out because I couldn’t digest anything. I weighed 73 pounds for five years and subsisted on mashed potatoes and canned carrots. I’m 5 foot four. I’m finally back to being able to eat, although I’ve had something going on since last November, but before that I was eating, but I cannot longer eat any raw vegetables, no spices of any kind, so no prepared foods, fat doesn’t go down, (except for avocados and for a while, coconut milk yogurt, but then that started making me sick), the list goes on. Without a gallbladder, you don’t have enough digestive acids to fully digest your food and then you don’t absorb your vitamins, etc. It’s really dangerous and they shouldn’t even do it. They should check our gallbladders periodically and make sure they don’t have stones so they don’t have to take them out ever. It basically killed my mom because after they took hers out, she had constant diarrhea and began kind of wasting away and then she had such terrible acid reflux that they put her on a proton pump, inhibitor, which broke both of her hips, and also she got two infections, C diff and E. coli, which I have read is not that uncommon if you don’t have enough stomach acid. Her body couldn’t fight them. I would give anything to have my gallbladder back. I told the doctors for six years before it went out that it was going out and because they’re Pipida scan said that it wasn’t they didn’t believe me. I was right, but by the time they found it, it was already dead, and I had to remove it, or I would’ve gotten sepsis. I’m scheduled to have a colonoscopy in a couple of weeks and honestly, I don’t even trust doctors. Not sure what to do. I guess I’ll go, but I haven’t had very good experiences with doctors. It seems so difficult to find a really good one. Good luck to you, but again, I would keep your gallbladder if you can, unless it’s actually dying. 💕
